Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

設計指示値を超えて製造された燃料タンクを組み付けたため、燃料タンク上面と車体との隙間が規定値より大きくなるものがあり、燃料タンク内の圧力の変化により異常に変形するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料タンク上部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、燃料を満タンにすると燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、燃料タンクを対策品と交換の上、車体フロアとの隙間を規定値以内に調整する。

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: 燃料タンク

200 notices in this register name 燃料タンク. 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 361 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2006.
