NHTSA recall 01V011001
Power Train · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: A hose was mis-manufactured and could weaken over time, which could result in leakage of the automatic transmission fluid.
Why it matters: Fluid leakage from the cooler hoses can cause transaxle driveability problems and smoke if the oil contacts the front exhaust pipe.
The fix: Dealers will replace the hose assembly for the automatic transmission oil cooler. Owner notification mailing will be phased over a five-month period starting March 26, through July 23, 2001.
