MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the L200 affecting a total of 29,746 vehicles.
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.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall affected vehicles to check the torque of the bolts and if required, replace the top suspension arm.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest MITSUBISHI dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
