View Full Version : Check your cars recall status in Japan

I found a good link to check the recall status of your Mitsi from its past life in Japan.

Here in NZ the widely publisized recall was for the AYC/ASC problem, but apparently world wide there were many faults wid mid - late 90's Mitsi's.

By following this link to Mtsi japan's site you can enter your chassis number to check what was recalled and repaired on your car :)

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fu-cfc.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp%2FRecall%2Fresultrecallstatus.do&lp=ja_en&intl=1

I've linked it through bablefish so its translated into english, the normal URL is:

http://u-cfc.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/Recall/resultrecallstatus.do

EDIT: This is now the correct link: http://recall.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/Recall/resultrecallstatus.do

So I could see mine had been recalled and rpaired for the front lower arm recall, the AYC.ASC one and something else about fuel tank.

Number Contents Classification Notification day
(Target date) Execution circumstance
1 Front suspension of 3 models such as 繧ョ繝」繝ゥ繝ウ and 繝ャ繧ー繝翫Β (the lower arm) about Recall 2003/11/20 Work performance end
2 About ASC of 繧ョ繝」繝ゥ繝ウ and the 繝ャ繧ー繝翫Β VR-4 series Recall 2001/11/08 Work performance end
3 4 models such as 繧ョ繝」繝ゥ繝ウ and 繝ャ繧ー繝翫Β (the 4WD car) about the fuel tank Recall 2000/07/26 Work performance end

Hmmm... :|

Ran my chassis number and got the following...

1 Front suspension (the lower arm) Recall 2003/11/20 Job unexecuted
2 About ASC VR-4 series Recall 2001/11/08 Work performance end
3 4 models suc fuel tank Recall 2000/07/26 Work performance end

So, my guess is that both fuel tank and ASC have been repaired prior to export and that the lower ball joint may well still need repairing. I did quizz the local garage regarding recall issues and the guy said to phone back up with the chassis no. and he would check the database.

Me now thinks, printing off the page from this site and taking it with me would be a good idea...

Cheers for the Link!!! ;)

my dealer now recognises that the car needs various recalls- both lower suspension arms need replacing, brakes need done etc, all he's trying to figure out now is who's going to pay for it. It seems misty uk won't so he has to authorisation from mitsy japan

My sentiments too Pieboy, ran mine-- fuel tank done in Japan only balljoints to do, no other recalls affect mine so Poole Mitsy were correct on this one.

It only worked for me on the non-translated version and using Internet Explorer, i then copied and pasted the results back into babelfish in chunks to see the results.

Mine has had everything done on it with the exception of the wiring for the heating system under the glovebox which is prone to fraying so i will get this done next time the car is in getting serviced.

Wodjno
14-12-2005, 03:43 PM
Thanks for that..

It shows 4 recalss for my car 2 of which have been done.

Fuel Tank and ASC have been done.. ./yes

Lower Suspension arms and Heater probs haven't.. :inquisiti

Thought i would check out the Missus's car to ..

4 outstanding recalls..
:rolleyes4

1. Brake vaccum hose set

2. Heater fan connectors

3. Lower Ball Joint


And now heres the Biggy..

4. Ignition plugs and idling (ecu)

as follows


Because (1) idling it is low the ignition timing control supervisor in the rotary territory (engine ECU) there are inadequate ones in part in the motive for action machine, there are times when idling revolution becomes unstable, stalls worst. However, restarting is possible. (2) resistance smoldering characteristic of the ignition plug with long haul idling for the insufficiency, there are times when instantaneous idling revolution decrease occurs, stalls worst. However, restarting is possible. Contents of improvement (1) is modified in those which the program of all vehicle and engine ECU measure are done. (2) all vehicle and the ignition plug are exchanged to 2 extremely semi creeping plugs.

Now finding this after the problems that we have endured on the GDi is /grr ..

Not just yet .
:inquisiti

I will wait until all this has been confirmed by Mitsy UK.. /yes

Then there will be the question .. Why was i without my car for 2 months tracing something that was already a known fault with the car. And it still isn't right.. And getting charged for it also.. /grr

Also telling me that there were no outstanding recalls on My car also.. Specifically as i asked about ball joints..

:inquisiti

Quick question the lower balljoint recall on the Missus car, could this make the steering stiff. I mean when you are diving along the initial movement is like a jerk then it moves smoothly. But when you move it again it jerks.. Especially noticeable on motorways where very minor adjustments of the whell are needed. /Hmmm

in some cases yes , the ball is sitting in a cup that has worn as you turn the ball is having to force its way out of the worn part , this would cause the stiffness , on mine though it just made the steering a bit vague i would say the biggest problem with leggys car is the overly lowered suspension putting the ball joint at a strange angle

I'm Being thick I think:

1 ギャラン, concerning the blower fan airflow control control equipment of レグナム and アスパイア recall 2005/04/12 job unexecuted

2 ギャラン, concerning electric wiring around the engine compartment of the レグナム VR-4 series recall 2004/06/30 work performance end

Front suspension of 3 models such as 3 ギャラン and レグナム (the lower arm) concerning recall 2003/11/20 work performance end

4 ギャラン, concerning ASC of the レグナム VR-4 series recall 2001/11/08 work performance end

4 models such as 5 ギャラン and レグナム (the 4WD car) concerning the fuel tank recall 2000/07/26 work performance end


So, but that little lot, do I presume that items 2-5 have been done ('performance end'?) and Item 1 to do with the blower (which was only discovered in April of this year?) still has to be done?

Looks like I've got the Blower fan and Front Suspension work needing done.
Also, seems from the chassis no. the my car was the 25th to last pre-facelift model to roll out of the factory! Always nice to know :-)

Have any of the kiwi guys approached Mitsubishi NZ to see what their position is on this..? Are they willing to do the work?

Just arithmetic my son :thumbsup:

The EC5W chassis numbers are split in two, from 0000024 to 0101746, and 5100101 to 5103030.
I assumed the former were pre-facelift and the latter were face-lift (and I may be wrong about that...) but mine is 25 from the end of the first range.

Mitzy UK: 01285 647774

Giz a sec on the recalls :thinking:

Edit:

As far as i can tell, as i am on work PC and it don't work properly with that site.

1. Heater / Summat electrical that might catch fire.

2. Lower ball joints.

3. ASC.

4. Fuel Tank Seal.

Can't tell which has been done and which ain't ? But to hazard a guess i think the Heater 1 has been done and the other 3 are outstanding.

Some info on this for the NZ guys: My car's in at Auckland Motors for service at the moment. They said the recall work is only covered by Mitsubishi for NZ new cars, not imports. Mine has the lower ball joint and aircon blower which needs doing. I was told it would take about 45 mins ($70 - with Club VR-4 discount) to check out the ball joint, but if it needs work I'll have to pay. He also said they hadn't serviced a single import for this recall, and that about 30% of NZ new cars needed the part to be replaced.

For some reason, both excite and babelfish keep throwing up errors.

Using the non-translated version, and then cutting and pasting the japanese text into babelfish, EC5W-5101525 has the following recall information.

1 2005/04/12 recall work unexecution of blower fan style amount controller of Garan, Regnam, and Aspaia

2 2003/11/20 recall work unexecution of reception desk suspension of three models such as Garan and Regnam (Roaarm)

3 2001/11/08 recall work unexecution of Garan and ASC of Regnam VR-4 series

4 The fuel tank of four models (4WD car) such as Garan and Regnam has been executed by 2000/07/26 recall work.


In tidied up english - You have four recalls and only one has been done. The ones outstanding are the fan wiring, the lower arms and the stability control system. See www.dogandlemon.com for more information.

Ouch the ASC system will cost about NZ$3,800 if Mitsubishi UK will not cover it. If it is not fixed, you can depress the brakes and simply roll through the intersection. Scary stuff. This is what took our "VR-4 Type S's" of the road in 2004 by our Land Transport Department.

It does seem to be covered and is being payed for by Mitzy.. Mine had the recall and has been put right.:happy:
I thought that if Mitzy has stated there is a problem with anything on the car and have asked for a recall, then they have to fix it at there own cost otherwise they are liable for prosecution. :inquisiti Or worse if they refused to fix the problem and like you say the car kept going when it should stop. :thinking:

Good thread guys... Just to follow on from my previous thread, Auckland motors checked both my (car's) lower ball joints as part of the service, and found the play in them to be within tolerances. So that's cool, no extra moolah required. Hopefully that's the same for you WODJNO! (I'd insert a smiley here if Mozilla would let me... 'tis also why none of my paragraphing is working)

Tried running my chassis number in the translated website and running it on the japanese website and translating and it keeps coming up with an error message /pan

If someone else could run it for me it would be appreciated

Its EC5A-0001498 (says ECSA on the V5 but guessing thats a mistake)

Just ran your chassis number through. For some reason, Babelfish is having none of it, but I was able to run it through in Japanese.

You'll be pleased to know that your car has had ALL it's recall work completed - even the balljoints! Take it yours is a recent import?

The other two recalls were for the fuel tank seal and the ASC system.

Yep - you are all clear too Richy - your car was subject to the same 3 recalls and they've all been done.

Interestingly, I just ran my chassis number through. When my car was exported in 2003, two recalls had been completed, but a third one (the balljoints) had not. I've since had both replaced by Mitsubishi UK, but they're still showing as incomplete on the Japan site.


Nice to see Mitsubishi UK and Mitsubishi Japan have such good communication, isn't it..... /Grrr /pan

Yep. On the back window, you'll sometimes see a 'Parking Permit' which is about the same size as a UK tax disc. This has a car symbol on it, a barcode and a serial number.

The recall stickers are also affixed to the rear screen. On all the cars I've seen, they're laid out in a line from the bottom left-hand corner. They are about 1/3 the diameter of a tax disc, and they have a 'G' superimposed on them, with a number in the horizontal part of the 'G'. This number refers to the recall campaign number that has been carried out on the car.

Can i ask for peoples understanding of this translation of a recall... :speechles

Because (1) idling it is low the ignition timing control supervisor in the rotary territory (engine ECU) there are inadequate ones in part in the motive for action machine, there are times when idling revolution becomes unstable, stalls worst. However, restarting is possible. (2) resistance smoldering characteristic of the ignition plug with long haul idling for the insufficiency, there are times when instantaneous idling revolution decrease occurs, stalls worst. However, restarting is possible.

(1) is modified in those which the program of all vehicle and engine ECU measure are done. (2) all vehicle and the ignition plug are exchanged to 2 extremely semi creeping plugs.

I read it as a problem with the ECU mapping and the spark plugs causing a low idle and possible stalling problem.

The fix is a new ECU and spark plugs.

Exactly my Thoughts.. :happy:

Thing is this is 1 of 4 recalls showing on the GDi.. Mitzy UK first agreed hat all 4 including this 1 was to be done.. Then last time i contacted my local Mitzy garage where the work is going to take place, they said that this recall no longer needed doing as it is a plug problem and because of the age of the car it's quite likely(QUITE LIKELY !!) that it has already been done.. .:inquisiti I said that on the recall site it stated a problem with the ECU and the Plugs but they said they had spoke to there tecnical dpartment and it didn't need doing..

Now my main gripe with this is that the GDi spent 2 months at the local Mitzy Garage to try and sort out a problem with it stalling and racing which started after the Missus had to abandone the car b1 day after smoke started billowing out from underneath the dash. Mitzy had it for 2 months in which time they never came up with a definitive answer. But replaced and soldered up some dodgy connections.. It still stalls and races and if you try and take it over 4500rpm it splutters like ****e.. Also Fuel Consumption isn't that great and it's power isn't that in keeping with the 140bhp it's supposed to have .. I know it's a big car but it's still lacking something that i'm sure it should have.. And NO that ain't a VR4 engine./pan
I have contacted Mitzy UK again and expressed my concerns and i am now waiting for another reply..

To tell you the truth i think my local Mitzy garage have come to the same conclusion as i have that the recall is the fault which they couldn't rectify in 2 months, and are embarrassed that this is the case and are trying to sweep it aside so they don't get shown to be totally ****ing useless../Grrr

We shall wait and see what the reply is from Mitzy UK.. :thinking:

Wodjno
21-03-2006, 12:08 AM
You have 2 recalls:



This Recall is Stll Outstanding

Problem :

Because the connector installation features of the power transistor which controls blower fan airflow and finishing of the connector terminal are inadequate, when the external force by the foot and the like of the crew-member on the connector joins, the contact point section of the connector slips, there are times when heat generation temperature becomes high due to the fact that contact resistance increases. Because of that, the connector the 溶 loses with the repetition, when it is worst, the blower fan becomes operation defective, there is a possibility the defroster stopping being effective.

Solution:

All vehicle, the power transistor and connector set are exchanged with the measure item.

This Recall Has Been Completed

Problem:

In the transmission, because in internal portion of the clutch master cylinder, there is a finishing defective region, abnormal wear occurs in the primary cup of the piston, when use is continued in that way state, hydraulic decrease occurs, there is a possibility the return defectiveness, the clutch being cut off defectiveness or strange noise of the clutch pedal occurring.


Solution:

The contents all vehicle and the particular clutch master cylinder of improvement are exchanged with the non-defective item.

That won't bring up the correct car Brad - I tried this with my V6 Sport. It might bring up *something*, but you're effectively changing to a JDM VIN plate and as such, it'll bring up the details of a Japanese car.

The front about suspension such as gear run and [regunamu] (lower arm) of 3 models -Recall 2003/11/20 - Work performance end (Done)

About the fuel tank of 4 models (4WD car) such as gear run and [regunamu]- Recall 2000/07/26 - Work performance end (Done)

The car of the customer was decided as the vehicle outside the object.

I rang Mitsubishi HQ in Cirencester and spoke to Amanda in Customer Services.

Very helpful!

She ran the chassis number and registration plate through the system and it came up with nothing outstanding / nothing has been done.

I explained it was an official UK import, so she emailed my details through to another department to check out, later ringing back to say all was still clean and went on to list the niggles that had been done under warranty, like a new hinge pin, and new brake discs.

If a chassis no. shows only two recalls (lower arm and fuel tank thingy), and both are done ok, does this mean it doesn't suffer of the other faults like ASC, heater etc.?

My car was in the garage last week not, once but twice for some recalls, fuel tank... fuse thingy-ma-jig and lower arms... hehe... saves me 300 quid on lower arms :)

For those that are not aware, this is the second time ive had the lower arms done (although first time only one was done) - between then and now i broke the seal on the "new" lower arm, causing me to consider buying new ones so I can put the poly bushes in, no need to purchase them now though. :D

Yeah - Technically your car is a Jap-Spec model, just with UK conversions. The weakness of the system seems to be that if the car was never registered in Japan, there's no record of it. So the 'Official' UK vr-4s and any others brought over brand new from Japan don't appear on this database.

Thanks mate.

I wonder if the suspension work is Ball joint wear?
A few weeks back my dad was driving it along and all of a sudden the Passenger wheel/arm popped out of the ball joint - the car ground on for about 10 yards before coming to a halt!

Had to use trolley jacks to push the car off the road and then call a recovery van. Car had a service recently and nothing had been noted re the balljoints.

peter thomson
05-01-2008, 02:44 PM
He was very lucky not too have had a major accident with that. Ball joint wear to that degree should have been noticable when driving either with poor handling or a lot of noise from the suspension. Depends on the service you had .If it just in for an oil and filter change they probably didn't check

Beastlee

Yep, work performance end means that the work had been done.

I am however interested as to why these recalls mention other models, e.g. Pajero, as inputting your chassis number would AFAIK normally just bring up your car (regunamu=Legnum) - I don't remember it doing this before. And I don't recall there being an ECU recall (number 3) for these either! Kieran can probably confirm that though.

No, it doesn't mean that. The Japan recall system only appears to work with cars first registered in Japan - So if the car was brand new when first sold in the UK, it's not on their database. What you'll have to do is give Colt Cars a call.

I have fired off a looooong mail to Mitsubishi motors in Sweden asking about these issues.
If they come back to me telling me I'm screwed because the recall fixes should have been done in Japan is there any person in the UK (at Mitsu or a dealer) that I can refer to (name and phone number) ? Since we have documented that Mitsu UK have fixed Japanese sold cars I'm figuring this should be valid all over Europe.

Quick note on the translations and car models:

"gear run" seems to be "Galant" just translated literary
[regunamu] = (as noted before) Legnum

but in your case they have the status: "Work performance end " so you should be good

You need to fill your VIN in on the Japanese original page for it to work.

I've just tried mine , translated result

"Front suspension of 3 models such as gear run and [regunamu] (the lower arm) concerning the recall 2003/11/20 Job unexecuted "
"3 models such as gear run and [regunamu] (the 4WD car) concerning the fuel tank the recall 2003/04/02 Job unexecuted"

So both ball joints and fuel tank still need to be fixed I think. Is it possible it has already been done in NZ? If not should it still be covered? Another problem is that Mitsi here in Hamilton has a bad reputation so I might have to take it to Auckland! :P

You have 3 x Work Performance Ends

And 1 x Job unexecuted!

That is the heater recall from 2005: "The gear run, about the blower fan airflow control control equipment of [regunamu] and [asupaia] "

Book it in to Mitsi!!

EDIT: And I've now starred out the chassis number, just in case!!

21-04-2009, 09:25 PM
Forgot to add - I can't remember how long your car's been in the UK. It may have been imported before that recall came out. And the work may have already been done in the UK. Mitsi should be able to check that anyway though. :thumbsup:

1 gear runs, concerning the blower fan airflow control control equipment of [regunamu] and [asupaia] the recall 2005/04/12 Front suspension of 3 models such as job unexecuted

2 gear runs and [regunamu] (the lower arm) concerning the recall 2003/11/20 The job unexecuted

3 gear runs, concerning ASC of the [regunamu] VR-4 series the recall 2001/11/08 4 models such as work performance end

4 gear run and [regunamu] (the 4WD car) concerning the fuel tank the recall 2000/07/26 Work performance end

so 2 jobs needed on mine, are they likely to still be free? who should i ring? ( in dundee if relevent)

Under carriage number (EC5W-*******) search result The car of the customer was decided as the object vehicle of the below-mentioned item. Number contents classification notification day (target date) execution circumstance

Front suspension of 3 models such as
1 gear runs and [regunamu] (the lower arm) concerning recall 2003/11/20 work performance end

2 gear runs, concerning ASC of the [regunamu] VR-4 series recall 2001/11/08 work performance end

3 gear runs and [regunamu] (the 4WD car) concerning the fuel tank recall 2000/07/26 work performance end

so looks like mine has had all 3 outstanding recalls done :mexicanwav

got to love this bit though

It does to apply annoyance truly, concerning the customer who is “job unexecuted” item, but please request gratuitous repair job to the dealership or the nearby dealership which you purchase.

Translates as the customer is bound to be pissed off when the jobs not done so request a free repair from your dealership!!! :dalek: :rifle:

Understand dude, when I phoned up Mitsubishi in Brighton to find out about the recall status on my red vr4 they bent over backwards to help out even to the extent of phoning me back after a few days & offering to book my car in on the Island for me if it did need any work.

Alas there was nothing outstanding which was good news! You would think being NZ & there being 10x more over there they would be pretty helpfull? Probably had issue`s somewhere down the line maybe?

elnevio
02-12-2010, 11:16 AM
Of course, that's the recall record in Japan. If the car was exported a number of years ago, it may have even been before the recalls were issued. In that case, NZ Mitsi (or UK Mitsi if over here) should have a record of recall work.

So yes, still best check with Mitsi NZ. :)

Ok prob been asked 100 times already but "being completed" = done? not "not yet finshed but has started"?

TAR
02-12-2010, 06:07 PM
Yes job done. If it says job unexecuted, it means that its still outstanding.

I called the Colt Car Company to check my recall status, they in turn contacted Japan and eventually contacted my local Misti dealer who arranged for the outstanding recall work to be done. It was all free of charge, the only issue was it took several weeks from start to finish.

As I said in the other post if it is a recall and it's a safety issue then the have to do it here.

We had to do all the recall work on imported mazdas if it was a safety concern. If it wasn't a safety concern (like rx8 starter motors) cust had to pay unless they had a massive cry to Mazda nz

Is your car manual or auto? If it is auto then the ASC must have been done. Come to think of it they may not do the ball joint one here due to the age of the car and whos to say it hasn't had aftermarket arms fitted already

the jap website only tells you the recalls were done or not as the case maybe in japan.
the jap website does not get updated if the work is carried out in the UK.
i would advise you use the uk colt car company website and it is a case loging your details and they will get back to you via email i think.
this is what i did and i had my lower front arm changed for free.
