Description of Defect
Engine Stall Issue in Mitsubishi Dion
Due to an inadequate printed circuit board for the generator start-up circuit on the back of the combination meter, thermal expansion caused by rising interior temperatures and the meter’s self-heating may cause excessive stress on the pattern, leading to potential breakage. If the parking brake is activated at start-up, the generator may not start, and in the worst case, the vehicle may stall while stopped. The generator will start when the parking brake is released.
Improvement Details
The generator start-up circuit on the printed circuit board has been updated to a countermeasure circuit to address the issue.
