Transfer Case Officially Recalled - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Sean Johnson · 05-10-2002, 10:33 AM

This e-mail is just to inform you that we just got a call from Mitsubishi
Motors saying that they are going to do a Recall on the transfer case of the
1992 through 1999 3000GT VR4's and the 1992 through 1996 Stealth R/T TT.
We do not have a hold of the Recall number, so you won't be able to look it
up, but I will inform you as soon as I know.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your help, and to
let you know that we could not have done this without your help.

Thank you again,

Eduardo Aviles

Why no 91's? Just too old?

SkortchGT · 05-10-2002, 10:44 AM

I believe the 91s already have a recall.

AbsurdParadox · 05-10-2002, 10:45 AM

So what does that mean anyway... I send them my transfercase and they give me... what?

From what I understand, when the recall # comes in, it will come with a detailed discription of what the recall intails. As of now, I'm not sure if the dealer just replaces the C ring that leaks, or the whole case. Mine isn't leaking, yet, and mine is 11 yrs old, so it would sure be nice to have a new one. Also, I'm not sure what the new one is. Is it a different design, or do they stick the same one in. I would hate to just have mine replaced, and have the new one leak, when my old one was old, but didn't leak. We'll just have to wait for the recall #.

Is this not some of the sweetest news EVER?

misterpeanut · 05-10-2002, 11:37 AM

GREAT NEWS!!!

unfortunately, i have a '91, and the dealer says the recall does not apply, though mine was manufactured in july, 1990....do you know if this new recall will affect the rest of the '91 production?

thanks, and GREAT job for the 3/S community.

Hopefully they will replace the whole thing. Either way though, this is awesome news!!
