Equipment · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles sold in the united states and puerto rico, the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) and gross axle weight rating (gawr) as stated on the certification label are in error.
Why it matters: Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the label. The recall began on May 31, 2004. Owners should contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
