What the notice says ターボチャージャ付車両において、ターボチャージャからオイルパンにオイルを戻すターボオイルリターンパイプとターボチャージャとの間に装着しているガスケットの材質が不適切なため、排気管の熱膨張収縮および高負荷運転による振動との複合要因により、当該締結部のボルトが緩む場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると当該ボルトの緩みが進行し、エンジンオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What the ministry says is wrong

ターボチャージャ付車両において、ターボチャージャからオイルパンにオイルを戻すターボオイルリターンパイプとターボチャージャとの間に装着しているガスケットの材質が不適切なため、排気管の熱膨張収縮および高負荷運転による振動との複合要因により、当該締結部のボルトが緩む場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると当該ボルトの緩みが進行し、エンジンオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ガスケットを点検し、該当するガスケットが装着されている場合は、ガスケット一式を対策品に交換し、規定トルクで締付ける。

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: 過給機

76 notices in this register name 過給機. 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 311 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2012.
