MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the Shogun affecting a total of 4,319 vehicles.
There is a possibility that the accumulator diaphragm in the Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB) might be manufactured improperly. This may cause the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator to drop. The following two symptoms may result :- 1) The brake assist might be delayed in sudden hard braking. 2) Relatively large brake pedal loads might be required after long-term parking and first engine start, since specific brake pressure takes time to accumulate. Vehicles built from 01/01/2000 to 07/30/2001 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. The Hydraulic Brake Booster nitrogen accumulator will be replaced with a modified one on all affected vehicles.
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.
