三菱 Kc-Bg642G. Published by MLIT as 1114460 on 3 June 2005. Part: 緩衝アーム/ロッド.

What the notice says 前輪独立懸架方式のアッパーアームとロアアームのボールジョイントにおいて、ダストブーツのシール構造が不適切なため、当該ジョイントへ泥水等が浸入し、樹脂ベアリングが摩耗してガタが発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとガタが増大し、最悪の場合、ボールジョイントがサスペンションアームから外れ、走行不能になるおそれがある。（備考）本件は、平成１６年１０月２７日付け「届出番号１２８７」にてリコール届出を行ったものですが、対象車の選定に集計漏れがあったため、対象車を追加し、新たに届出するものです。

What the ministry says is wrong

前輪独立懸架方式のアッパーアームとロアアームのボールジョイントにおいて、ダストブーツのシール構造が不適切なため、当該ジョイントへ泥水等が浸入し、樹脂ベアリングが摩耗してガタが発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとガタが増大し、最悪の場合、ボールジョイントがサスペンションアームから外れ、走行不能になるおそれがある。（備考）本件は、平成１６年１０月２７日付け「届出番号１２８７」にてリコール届出を行ったものですが、対象車の選定に集計漏れがあったため、対象車を追加し、新たに届出するものです。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ロワ、およびアッパーアームのボールジョイントを対策品と交換する。また、当該部位の点検整備内容を充実させ周知することにより、定期点検へのユーザの注意を喚起する。

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.

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.

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: 緩衝アーム/ロッド

176 notices in this register name 緩衝アーム/ロッド. 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 427 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2005.
