1995 Mitsubishi Expo

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: all wheel drive passenger vehicles. lockup of the transfer case can occur due to insufficient lubrication.

Corrective Action

this condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect the vehicles for adequacy of the transfer case oil volume, transfer case oil leakage, and operational degradation of the transfer case mechanism. if oil volume is insufficient, the appropriate amount of oil will be added. if there is transfer case oil leakage, affected components will be replaced. if the transfer case shows operational degradation, the transfer case will be replaced.
