SINCE ABOUT 12,000 MILES, EXTREME CUPPING OF ALL FOUR TIRES PLAINLY VISIBLE. TIRES AT ALL TIMES AT MITSHUBISHI RECOMMENDED PRESSURE, AND ROTATED EVERY 5,000 MILES. NO IMPACT DAMAGE TO ANY TIRE, OR RIM. NO SCUFFING OF SIDEWALLS, OR PUNCTURES. TIRES APPARENTLY CUPPED FROM THE START. CAR PURCHASED NEW, WITH 3 MILES. DEALER CANNOT EXPLAIN CAUSE FOR SEVERE CUPPING, BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE TIRES. ALSO CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MOTOR, WHO TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD SOME COMPLAINTS ON THESE TIRES. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. CONCERNED THAT TIRES MAY SUDDENLY FAIL, ES THEY ARE SEVERELY CUPPED (ALL 4) AND RIDE WITH GREAT DEAL OF NOISE AND VIBRATION. DEALER CLAIMS PROBLEM NOT WITH AUTO, SINCE PROPERLY ALIGNED. TIRES ARE BALANCED, AND AT PROPER INFLATION. NOW BECOMING CONCERNED FOR SAFETY, AND UPSET THAT DEALER AND MITSUBISHI DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT CONDITION. *AK (DOT NUMBER: TOX82JM250 TIRESIZE: P215/60R16)
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, 'OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION.' THE BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH REMOVABLE AIR BAG WARNING LABELS AFFIXED TO THE DASH AND TO THE SUNVISOR DO NOT MEET THE SIZE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Remedy: MITSUBISHI CARIBBEAN WILL MAIL A CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION LETTER CONTAINING A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION AND A GRAPHIC OF THE BI-LINGUAL DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING LABEL. IN ADDITION, ALL CURRENT 2000-2004 NATIVA OWNERS WILL ALSO RECEIVE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG ALERT LABELS FOR THE SUN VISORS. THIS RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH OR APRIL 2005.

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 & remedy
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.
Remedy: 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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE HEAD OF THE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE RETAINING CLIP FOR THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE CAN BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK OFF.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE SCREW HEAD BREAKS OFF, THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE RETAINER CLIP CAN BECOME DISLODGED AND COULD RESULT IN THE PARKING BRAKE DRAGGING AND/OR FAILURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE TO PROPERLY HOLD. SEIZURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR SNOW COVERED ROADS, COULD RESULT IN LOCKUP OF ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE RETAINING CLIP SCREW AND IN THE PROCESS INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM OF ANY POSSIBLE RELATED DAMAGE. ANY RELATED DAMAGE THAT MAY BE FOUND WILL ALSO BE REPAIRED.
