  • 11 Feb 2015MITSUBISHI SHOGUNRef R/2015/003

    ENGINE MAY STALL

    Defect

    Due to a fault in the engine ECU software it is possible that the 4M41 engines in the Shogun will not learn the variations or age deterioration in injectors and be able to adjust the amount of fuel being injection accordingly. This inability to learn these values correctly can result in the engine emits an excessive amount of soot to the DPF which can block it. This can result in the engine stalling and not being able to restart.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles and reprogramme engine ECU software.

    ENGINE MAY STALL

    Defect

    Due to a high carbon build up the check ball seat of the timing chain tensioner can show premature wear. It is possible that the check ball may stick to the seat preventing the tensioner from functioning properly. This in turn will result in an un-tensioned timing chain which causes a rattling noise and in the worst cases the chain will break.

    Remedy

    Replace tensioner on all affected vehicles. Depending on outcome of further inspections the timing chain may also need to be replaced.

The seat belt system is an integrated part of the seat.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the driver and passenger seat bases.

    BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED

    Defect

    It has been established that Oil Carbon and Granulated Dust contamination could cause the ventilation function of the Shutoff and Safety Valve to be impaired. The internal air pressure of the Safety Valve can therefore increase from 18.5bar to over 40bar. This can result in the failure/rupture of the top section of the housing of the air drier cartridge. The brake system will remain operation to enable the driver to bring the vehicle to a control stop after they hear the rupture.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicle to install a pressure limiting valve.

    BRAKING IMBALANCE MAY MAKE VEHICLE UNSTABLE

    Defect

    The fixing bolts for the front and rear hub assemblies are not to specification. The bolts could break and cause loud noise followed by severe vibration wheel lock possibly a bolt could puncture the brake disc or even if all the bolts are damaged the hub may become insecure to the axle. The aforementioned will cause instability and significantly increase the risk of collision.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace all the front and rear wheel hub fixings. If any damaged has been caused by bolts failing the affected components will be replaced.
