NHTSA recall 03V429000
Visibility · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles located in the caribbean, due to a software programming error in the electronic timing and control system (etacs), while using the intermittent wiper mode, the intermittent wiper sweep time interval may increase as much as 6.8 second between wiper sweeps.
Why it matters: If this occurs during severe weather and during vehicle's high-speed operation, the driver visibility would be reduced, which could lead to a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the etacs module. Owner notification began November 14, 2003. Owners should contact Mitsubishi caribbean at 1-800-981-0452.
