Montero Sport LS 2WD V6-3.0L SOHC (1998)
Harmonic Balancer - Crankshaft Pulley: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 00V311000: Possible Loss of Power Steering
Mirage model vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines; Montero Sport models equipped with 3.0L engines; and Montero models equipped with 3.0L
engines. The bolt securing the crankshaft pulley can become loose and the pulley could fall off the vehicle.
The condition can result in a loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
On the Mirage vehicles, the dealers will install a new, improved crankshaft pulley bolt on the older engines. On new engines which already have the
improved bolt, the dealer will tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to the correct torque specification. On the Montero models, dealers will tighten the
crankshaft pulley bolt to the correct torque specifications. If the bolt is damaged, it will be replaced.
Owner notification will be performed in five separate owner mailings, with the first mailing beginning October 31, 2000. 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 at
1-800-222-0037. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
