Possibility that the bonnet safety hook is defective
MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the L200 affecting a total of 13,628 vehicles.
The possibility exists that the bonnet safety hook (secondary locking device) is defective. With the result that should the primary lock not be fully engaged, the safety hook may also fail due to lift created by the airflow, and in the worst case, the bonnet may open whilst the vehicle is being driven.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the safety hook bracket will be checked for profile, and adjusted if necessary.
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.
