What NHTSA recorded

On certain passenger vehicles, a condition exists that allows oil to leak from the all-wheel drive transfer case.

Possible consequence

Low oil levels in the transfer case could cause bearing damage and result in drive train lockup, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the transfer case for indications of oil leakage or damage. Vehicles that have oil leakage will have the transfer case resealed and re-fill the transfer case to the proper level, or replaced the transfer case if there is evidence of damage. Owner notification is expected to begin december 9, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mitsubishi america at 1-888-648-7820 or mitsubmishi caribbean at 1-787-251-8715.
