An anomaly in the tightening process may result in insufficient tightening of the ball joint nuts of the front lower control arm. This can cause abnormal clicking or knocking noises while driving, particularly during braking or turning. Over time, the connection between the wheel and the vehicle frame may loosen or be lost, which could cause the vehicle to veer off course and increase the risk of an accident.
Official notice10 Sep 2026 · Safety Gate · DE · SR/02465/26
Mitsubishi Motors · Canter Step-E
The connecting rods for the front upper ball joints do not have the required material hardness due to insufficient induction hardening in the manufacturing process and may break. As a result, the steering could be impaired, and fragments could fall onto the road. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.

The Active Side Guard Assist (ASGA) sensor may be partially blocked by the vehicle’s own bodywork or by accessories installed along the sides, such as side guards. When the sensor’s view is obstructed, the system may issue false dashboard warnings and, more importantly, may fail to detect nearby road users or obstacles in time. This increases the risk of an accident, as the safety system might not respond appropriately to hazards that are hidden or detected too late.
