What the ministry says is wrong

 4輪駆動車における後輪に動力を伝達するためのギヤボックス(トランスファ)におい て、入力軸ケースと出力軸ケースの合わせ面に使用している液状漏れ止め剤(シーラント )に塗布不良のものがあるため、当該トランスファの潤滑油が漏れる場合があり、このま まの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、出力軸を支えているベアリングが潤滑不良によ り破損し、走行できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、トランスファの潤滑油漏れ状況を点検するとともに、当該合わせ面にOリング を取り付ける。なお、潤滑油漏れが発生している車両は、トランスファを対策品と交換す る。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website (出典:国土交通省ウェブサイト), used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

三菱 elsewhere in this register

三菱 is named on 887 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 4WD機構

7 notices in this register name 4WD機構. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Mitsubishi: 1,288 in the register, and 47 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1993.
