RECALL - CHECK!!!!

Post by Jono »

Hey guys,

i stumbled on this link from the HK FTO site..it looks like a recall for some FTOs 8O

There are two different recalls:

1. About the car interior electric wiring of FTO
http://u-cfc.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/Re ... erno=11249

2. About electric wiring around the engine compartment of FTO, and around the glove compartment
http://u-cfc.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/Re ... erno=11122

Please check your Number does not match...

If anyone can translate the Japanese, and tell us what the recall is specifically for, that would be good

About electric wiring around the engine compartment of FTO, and around the glove compartment

The structure which it recognizes, the device or
Circumstance and its cause of efficiency
(1) there are some whose fixed method of wiring for the speed sensor inside the engine compartment and wiring for the idle rpm control control equipment is inadequate, wiring is pulled by the behavior of the engine which is in the midst of travelling. Because of that, when it is worst, wiring is disconnected, the speedometer indication defectiveness or is a possibility of becoming idling out of order.
(2) there are some where the opening of electric wiring and the glove compartment installation bracket of the car interior is narrow, wiring and the particular bracket terminal interfere with the vibration which is in the midst of travelling, there are times when coating of wiring is damaged. Because of that, when it is worst, wiring short-circuits, the fuse is cut off, engine starting failure or is a possibility of becoming wiper operation defective.

Contents of improvement measure
(1) all vehicle, fixed position of wiring inside the engine compartment is modified.
(2) the protective tape Hari is attached to all vehicle and the glove compartment installation bracket terminal.
Furthermore (1) also (2), inspects wiring, when it has been damaged, corrects any recoverable things, exchanges any correction impossible things with the new item.

About the car interior electric wiring of FTO


Problem
Because fixing of car interior electric wiring is inadequate, there are some where the opening of the hood lock release steering wheel bracket is narrow with the dispersion of attachment job, there are some which damage coating with the fixed screw of the bracket. Because of that, the particular wiring and fixed screw interferes with the vibration which is in the midst of travelling, when it is worst, wiring short-circuiting, there is a possibility the fuse being cut off, becoming direction indicator unlighted and speedometer operation defective etc..

Contents of improvement measure
All vehicle, particular wiring is inspected, when the opening is insufficient, the taking turning of wiring is modified, the opening is guaranteed. In addition, when wiring has been damaged, it corrects any recoverable things, exchanges any repair impossible things with the new item.

If your using IE, try going "View" then "Encoding", then select Japanese... that may help probably. :?

If not, then some Japanese fonts are probably not installed or something.
