Wow, i must admit, i never thought thsi was gonna happen when I read about it a few days ago. Now what the recall will cover and when it will come out is a whole different story, i wonder if it will only be for certain parts and if we're screwed if other parts are broken or worn out that are not on the recall. Hopefully it will be for the darn stinkin thing. This couldn't have come at a better time since i thi k my brother might have blown mine yesterday

I wonder if my father can get Reimbursed for the one I replaced on his car a few moonths ago.

If the transfer is leaking they replace it for free. If not then they do nothing at all. The recall is low type so this means if there is a problem they will do it otherwise not. This belongs to cars that are not more than 10 years old. Info is from Mitsu Europe.

well if it is to replace 92 to 99 the 92 are almost up for replacment

Import Power · 05-10-2002, 12:21 PM

91's were recalled early on. I think in 92. Mine was replaced due to recall in 92.

Sean Johnson · 05-10-2002, 12:34 PM

Chunsangp,
Canadians are Exempted from the recall!

j/k... Well, I guess my 91 won't be seeing a new t-case

I guess I'll just sue them when I spin out off the road at 70 mph cause of a t-case leak or lock up.

I have a question though. According to the VIN #, when did the 92's start? I'm wondering if my 91 is actually a 92 according to the VIN.....

They will still replace it if your car is modded right?

Phalse · 05-10-2002, 12:42 PM

judging by when this happened on the DSMs' chances are yes, they will replace the seal or the unit even with mods, to much possible lawsuit if they dont since this is a safety based recall.
