Issued by MITSUBISHI AMERICA · Reported Mar 22, 1995 · 1,906 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VEHICLES INVOLVED ARE THOSE THAT HAD THE HEATER VALVE STEMS REPLACED IN AN EARLIER MITSUBISHI RECALL (94V-103.001). CERTAIN VEHICLES HAD AN INCORRECT VALVE STEM INSTALLED WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INCORRECT STEM TO LEAK AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME.

Consequence

THIS CAN RESULT IN A BURN INJURY TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER'S FEET AND LEGS.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE INCORRECT VALVE STEMS.
