Just thought we'd all like to know!

Thanks. I reached out to my dealer to schedule a service appointment for this recall.

I'll wait until I get the notice from Mitsubishi.

Sometimes that doesn't happen... so just don't forget about it.

ughhhhh now I gotta waste time driving to my dealer. I don't have much time RIP.

Did not get my notice yet, but will make an appointment.

How did yo find out about this recall? I can't find any info on it.

In the US you can usually go to this website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/

But I don't find it there yet.

This recall is not even a week old, so I bet most dealers don't know about it yet.

Thanks, I found it on that site. I entered a vin from one of our cars and it showed up. Funny it doesn't show up on the transport Canada site but they give a list of sites to try: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehicle...ions-1412.html

Here's the mistu one: https://www.mitsubishicars.com/owner...e?q=recallinfo
