Product
Hydraulic brake accumulator in passenger car
Brand
Mitsubishi (86 alerts)
Brand as notified
MITSUBISHI
Type / model
models Pajero / Montero / Shogun (V60W-V70W)
Description
The recall concerns 2001 and 2002 model year vehicles, with accumulators produced before 29 July 2003.
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to an improper manufacturing process of the hydraulic brake accumulator, the resin film (diaphragm) inside the accumulator may get damaged. If use continues under this condition, a crack in the diaphragm may occur and the amount of the nitrogen gas enclosed in the accumulator may decrease, resulting in the following phenomenon: 1. braking may be delayed if the user tries to brake rapidly, 2. more effort may need to be applied to the brake pedal when the engine has been started after a long stoppage period.
Measures
  • Voluntary corrective actions take by the importer
