    Recall Status?

    Is there an easy, and fast way to either access or discover the recall status of a VR4 ?

    i did a search but it all seems very hotchpotch, pm here, translate there and so on.
    or is the only solution to visit the local mitsi dealer and hope they are in a better mood than the failled attempt i had for the same info with my Evo?

    blower ball joint/leteral arm has started creaking and i know thats a recall, but i suspect due to how fast i need it fixed ill be buying it myself monday, but at least for future would be nice to know about teh recall status,
    cheers
    VR4-less for a while

    This has been covered in other threads, i will try and fond a link.

    This is the uk link for applying for rework job to be done.

    to find the status in japan and inform so yqou can tell the people at the first link that you want a particulr recall doing.

    Follow the link below in IE and enter your chassis number.
    When the results come up you'll need to copy the table to Google Translate. If a row is grey it's had the work completed :

    Mitzi uk direct number , call them with your details and it takes 3 weeks for them to get the info sorted , better than dealing with local dealer as they are not interested as only a franchise and they don't want to pay for the work !!

    The link to the web check page (cut and paste into a translator ) is good reference if the recalls have been done or not !

    Im just waiting on them now

    Good luck

    1. ASC
    2.Fuel tank
    3.Brake hose vac set
    4.Lower ball joint

    or was the fl sorted when it rolled out of production with the above jobs rectified? if not then im on the phone to mitsi uk first thing in morning.

    The lower arm recall may be same as the ball joints? depends which arms they are talking about but i assumed the only recall was the lower lateral arm (balljoint) ?

    When you put your chassis number in the jap version it gives you the recall that apply to your can in table form.
    It tells you what the recall job is and the box to right of the job required tell you if it has been done or not.
