Hey guys,
i stumbled on this link from the HK FTO site..it looks like a recall for some FTOs
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

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.
