Recall, Can We Trust Mitsubishi Uk

[Dazpostie]

Hi all,
I have recently bought a 96 Legnum, and was impressed with all aspects of driving the car, untill the break pedal hit the floor.
While searching for the part that was faulty (ASC/ABS Accumulator) I came across a site called The Dog and Lemon Guide.
The site shows Mitsubishi recalls, I have contacted Mitsubishi uk and waited weeks ,and loads of phone calls befor they informed me that this defect had been sorted.
Now if this problem had been put right the Accumulator would not have a gas part with the dodgy diaphram, but the symptoms are the same as the problem with the gas filled accumulator.
My problem is, if it's been in for the recall, why have they put the same faulty part on as a replacement, and if it hasen't , why are they fobbing me off.
Can any one help. PLEASE. Daz. (pissed off and breakless)


thanks fo the info guys, just one other thing ( i know this is stupid , but) where is the accumulator situated and where do i find the part number?

Hope that the above link helps. To be honest, whilst Mitsubishi UK are often slow in getting a reply back, they are usually honest about recall work that needs doing.

the sphere should have been removed, along with various brake pipes, my car was in for a full day.

I had no problem either. It can just take a while to get everything arranged.

This is a critical safety recall and as such Mitsubishi should respond to it ASAP. Your situation is even more grave as it's actually occoured! I don't need to suggest the outcome if you'd been on the motorway at the time and needed to brake quickly....

Anyway - If Mitsubishi are dragging their heels, may I point you to these threads....

Louis has already mentioned this one - this is what Physician did:

And if you look at this thread - post #15 is the wording used:
