Mitsubishi NS Pajero (robotic) - Manual control lever recall

Posted by admin Published in Mitsubishi, Auto News

Make & Model: Mitsubishi NS Pajero (Automatic)

Number of Vehicles Affected: 975

Model Years From: 21 November 2006 and 23 March 2007

VIN Range: JMFLYV97W7J000982 and JMFLYV98W7J001108. JMFMYV87W7J000273 and JMFMYV88W7J000391.

Whats wrong: There is a opportunity that the bolt welded to the manual control lever (mounted on the motorized transmission) may develop a crack when the shift cable attaching nut is tightened. whether that occurs, the shift cable attaching nut torque may be reduced allowing the shift cable to move.

This can outcome in

an indicated shift position which is different to the gearshift position at the transmission. In a worse case condition whether the driver selects P and or N position, actual shift position at the transmission may be R or D. whether that occurs, there is a opportunity of unexpected vehicle movement whether the accelerator is depressed in that situation.

What should you do?: Mitsubishi Motors will contact owners of all vehicles.
