Affected vehicles

Mitsubishi Delica 1994–1997

Hazard

In vehicles equipped with an aftermarket catalyst as a particulate matter reduction device, the joint structure connecting the exhaust pipe upstream of the catalyst to the catalyst is improperly designed, or the wall thickness of the exhaust pipe upstream of the main muffler is insufficient. This results in inadequate exhaust pipe strength against engine vibration during driving, which may cause cracking. Continued use in this condition may lead to exhaust pipe fracture and increased noise.
