Car Warranty News: MITSUBISHI L200 Suspension Problem

MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the L200 affecting a total of 29,746 vehicles in the UK. It has been established that is it possible, due to misalignment of components, that the ball joint mounting bolts may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If the vehicle is used in extreme circumstances, this can cause the bolts to loosen and ultimately, cause the ball joint to detach. MITSUBISHI intend to recall affected vehicles to check the torque of the bolts and if required, replace the top suspension arm.

Has your car been damaged by a pothole? Potholes in the road surface can cause damage to tyres, wheels and suspension. They are created when water seeps into cracks in the road surface and freezing weather conditions cause this water to turn to ice. The expansion that takes place when this happens breaks up the road structure. A car warranty will not cover pothole damage so it pays to drive carefully in the winter months even on familar roads because they can pretty much appear overnight and rapidly deteriorate. If you have suffered all may not be lost because you may be able to claim your costs from the local authority by following this step-by-step guide to claiming for pothole damage.
