Check if your Mitsubishi has a Recall
Chronology :
September 14, 2021, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) was notified by Asteer that some side center pillar reinforcements were partially manufactured to Australian specifications. MMC immediately began inspecting the center pillar reinforcements on all potentially affected vehicles in MMC’s possession.
September – October 2021, MMC conducted computer analysis to determine if the partial Australian specification side center pillar reinforcements would still meet FMVSS and the potential other consequences.
October 14, 2021, MMC determined that although initial analysis indicated the affected vehicle would meet FMVSS, out of an abundance of caution, a field action was necessary in the US, and advised Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) to conduct a non-compliance recall.
