Mitsubishi Triton LITE Turbo recalled in Malaysia

Triton LITE Turbo- Side view
Yes folks, it’s definitely the season of recalls. It’s now the turn of the Mitsubishi Triton LITE Turbo, of which 2,200 units in Malaysia are involved in what Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) terms as a ‘Field Fix Campaign’. That’s a recall to you and I, then.

Specifically, models that are sold from April 2012 to December 2013 are affected, and are now required to undergo a preventive and safety measure to replace their crankshaft pulley bolts. The whole process will take one hour, and can be carried out at any Mitsubishi authorised service centres.

The local distributor has issued notification letters to all effected owners, and ensures that the full cost of the part replacement (a permanent fix to the issue) will be borne by Mitsubishi Motors.

      A loosen crankshaft pulley won’t kill you. A non-deploying airbag will.

        Air bags can’t save lives, it can only minimize the extent of injury. Fasten your seat belt and drive safely.

        And, do you know how many spectacle wearing people’s eyesight were injured/blinded because of deployed airbags?

            All defect required fixes, that’s simple.

            Bravo again to the responsible automaker again to rectify the problem.

          By reducing injury, airbags can save lives. It takes only that much more degrees of injury to push someone over the brink of death. That said, airbags can also cause injury and even death if the people sitting in a car with airbags don’t know how to sit properly.

        You didn’t do body checkup means you won’t get cancer?

        Proton can’t afford to do recall, or they don’t bother to.

        End up so many J class in the garage everyday.

    why is it that japanese cars in 30 years ago very seldom being recalled??

    Is it because the quality control gets worst these days due to cut cutting?? Or the consumers are complaining more than ever???
