2002 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE Recalls (3)

Campaign:
02V100001 on 04/14/2002
Component:
Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
Manufactured:
08/23/2001 - 11/25/2001
Affected:
3,885
Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles, the main under hood electrical wiring harness may have insufficient clearance between the engine control harness and the exhaust heat shield. as a result, the harness could come in contact with the heat shield, which could result in melting of the harness insulation.
Consequence:
The melting of the harness insulation could result in grounding of the crank angle sensor wiring, causing the engine to run erratically or stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the harness for damage and, if none is evident, will tie the harness back to prevent the harness from ever coming into contact with the heat shield. any harness that shows evidence of damage will be repaired as necessary and then tied back to prevent future damage. owner notification began may 13, 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 at 1-800-222-0037.

Campaign:
04V067000 on 02/19/2004
Component:
Equipment:other:owners/service/other manual
Affected:

Defect:
Certain sport utility and passenger vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." the owner's manual does not contain a step-by-step description for headrest adjustment when installing a child restraint system (crs) tether strap.
Consequence:
If the tether strap is improperly installed to the tether anchor, the child safety seat may not be sufficient restrained. in the event of a crash, the child could be injured.
Correction:
A letter outlining the problem will be sent to owners along with a sticker containing the correct instructions as well as instructions on where to affix the sticker in the owner's manual. the recall began on march 29, 2004. owners should contact mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
