Campaign 18V069000 · Reported 26/01/2018 · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What's wrong: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

The drive belt automatic tensioner flange may crack, allowing the accessory drive belt to detach.

Free remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the belt tensioner with one that has an improved shape, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 27, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-001.
