三菱 U-Mj217F, U-Mj218L, U-Mk218F, U-Mk218J, U-Mk616J, U-Mk618F. Published by MLIT as 1114680 on 29 June 2005. Part: アクスル.

What the notice says フロントアクスルのナックルストッパ部付近の強度が不足しているため、車両旋回時等にキングピンボス部に過大な応力が発生した場合、当該ストッパ部に亀裂が発生するものがある。また、キングピンのガタが大きくなると、この亀裂が促進される可能性がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進行してボス部が破断し、最悪の場合、ボスからキングピンが外れ、タイヤが傾き走行不能となるおそれがある。

What the ministry says is wrong

フロントアクスルのナックルストッパ部付近の強度が不足しているため、車両旋回時等にキングピンボス部に過大な応力が発生した場合、当該ストッパ部に亀裂が発生するものがある。また、キングピンのガタが大きくなると、この亀裂が促進される可能性がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進行してボス部が破断し、最悪の場合、ボスからキングピンが外れ、タイヤが傾き走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両フロントアクスルを確認し、対策品未装着の車両については、対策品と交換する。また、フロントアクスルのキングピン穴部の摩耗限度を新たに設定し整備基準に追記する。 なお、対策品の全数供給に時間を要するため、当面の暫定措置として、当該キングピン穴部を点検し、亀裂のある場合は対策品と交換し、問題の無い場合は、後日、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.

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: アクスル

91 notices in this register name アクスル. 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.
