Possibility that water could seep into the lower ball joints
MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the Galant ST affecting a total of 10,614 vehicles.
Possibility that water could seep into the lower ball joints of the front suspension due to insufficient sealing Vehicles built from 03/01/1997 to 03/01/2000 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled during which time the free play in the front suspension lower ball joints will be checked. If the play is found to be within tolerance, and the dust cover is free from damage, the cover will be cleaned, and a sealer applied. If on inspection the dust cover is damaged, or the joint is exhibiting free play outside the tolerance, the lower arm will be replaced.
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.
