EMISSION RECALL
This bulletin supercedes EMR-92-001, which should be discarded.
PURPOSE
This bulletin provides a detailed procedure for inspection and repair of the emission control system on certain 1987, 1988, and 1989 2.6L turbocharged
Federal Emission Specification Starion models. A letter has been sent to all owners of the affected vehicles telling them to return their vehicles to their
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have the engine serviced. A copy of this letter is shown on Page 6 of this bulletin.
Please note that the customer is not to be charged for the repairs covered by this bulletin. To achieve the desired results, the procedure described in this
bulletin MUST be followed EXACTLY to ensure that all items are completed.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
All dealerships MUST perform all steps described in this bulletin. Incomplete repairs will lead to emissions non-compliance and obvious customer
dissatisfaction. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will survey the results of this campaign several months after starting. If incomplete repairs
or non-compliance is found, another recall could be ordered or other action undertaken by EPA.
Furthermore, the EPA may consider failure to properly perform emission recall procedures as tampering, which may subject the servicing dealer to a fine
of up to $25,000 per vehicle. Confirm that you are using the proper Technical Service Bulletin repair procedures and service kits for the vehicle model
year and engine size that you are working on. Service procedures are different even though some vehicles may look alike.
