Recall?

[Lancer99]

Ok I was on All Data and I ran a serach on the Gvr-4 just to see what I could find. Well I went under the recall/ tsb's and I found that there was a recall on the 02sensor and the 2.0L's. Has anyone heard of this one or no?

when i worked at libertyville mitsu i looked up all the recalls on my gsx and my vr4 the only ones that were currently listed for both were the transfer case/yoke recall. idk if anyone else has heard anything different, its been 2 yrs since i quit working ther.

I got the xcase recall done to my gvr4 last spring, but i dont remember seeing an 02 sensor recall being required.

I ran a carfax on a new '92 I bought and it had two recalls open. The o2 one sounds familiar.

since it's not a safety recall, it's possible that it expired. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

There was an emissions recall on the O2 sensor. Don't remember for certain, but it may have been only 92s.

I just went on mitchell on demand and looked up recalls. The only recalls on there were for the transfer case and the front seat belts.

Sorry I dug a little deeper and did find an emission recall where they do replace the o2 sensor.

SUBJECT:

EMISSION RECALL

This bulletin supercedes EMR-92-005, which should be discarded.

PURPOSE

This bulletin provides a detailed procedure for inspection and repair of the emission control system on certain turbocharged 1991 and 1992 2.0L Federal Emission Certified Galant VR-4 models. A letter has been sent to all owners of the affected vehicles informing them to return their vehicles to their Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have the engine serviced. A copy of this letter is shown on Page 6 of this bulletin.

Please note that the customer is not to be charged for the repairs covered by this bulletin. To achieve the desired results, the procedure MUST be followed EXACTLY as described in this bulletin.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

All dealerships MUST perform all steps described in this bulletin. Incomplete repairs will lead to emissions non-compliance and obvious customer dissatisfaction. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will survey the results of this campaign several months after starting. If incomplete repairs or non-compliance is found, another recall could be ordered or other action undertaken by EPA.

Furthermore, the EPA may consider failure to properly perform emission recall procedures as tampering, which may subject the servicing dealer to a fine of up to $25,000 per vehicle. Confirm that you are using the proper Technical Service Bulletin repair procedures and service kits for the vehicle model year and engine size that you are working on. Service procedures are different even though some vehicles may look alike.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

This procedure applies to 1991 and 1992 2.0L Federal Emission Certified Galant VR-4 models equipped with manual transmissions without limitation as to mileage. It does not apply to any other models.

REQUIRED OPERATIONS

1. Replace the Oxygen Sensor.

2. Clear any diagnostic codes stored in the MPI system's ECU using the Multi-Use Tester.

emissions non-compliance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif Maybe I should take my car in for this. Oh wait I turned off my o2 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Man would that give the tech a hell of a time.

Boss, I don't know what is going on. I put a new O2 in the car but the ecu is not showing its there. Should I put in a different one.

No tell the person there ecu is bad and we are going to have to sell them a new one.
