Has your Mitsubishi been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Mitsubishi dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Summary
On certain passenger vehicles, a condition exists that allows oil to leak from the all-wheel drive transfer case.
Consequence
Low oil levels in the transfer case could cause bearing damage and result in drive train lockup, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the transfer case for indications of oil leakage or damage. Vehicles that have oil leakage will have the transfer case resealed and re-fill the transfer case to the proper level, or replaced the transfer case if there is evidence of damage. Owner notification is expected to begin December 9, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Mitsubishi america at 1-888-648-7820 or mitsubmishi caribbean at 1-787-251-8715.
