Montero Sport LTD 2WD V6-3.5L SOHC (2000)
Hydraulic Fluid Accumulator: Recalls
Recall 01V254000: Hydraulic Brake Booster Accumulator
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. The accumulator that is installed on the hydraulic brake booster may have been improperly manufactured
which, over a period of time, could result in leakage of the pressurized nitrogen gas from inside the accumulator.
The loss of this gas pressure could result in an abnormal noise from the left side of the dash panel when the brakes are applied, and possibly a delayed
first time brake boost assist after the vehicle has been parked for a period of time.
Dealers will install an improved accumulator. Owner notification mailing is expected to begin during October 2001. 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).
