Recall - Incorrect Underhood Vacuum Hose Routing Label: Overview
No: SC-04-001DATE: June, 2004
MODEL: 2004 Galant 2.4L
SUBJECT:
VACUUM HOSE ROUTING DIAGRAM LABEL
(2004 GALANT) - SERVICE CAMPAIGN
PURPOSE
The Vacuum Hose Routing Diagram label on certain 2004 Galant 2.4L MIVEC equipped vehicles is incorrect and must be changed.
The original label shows a component which is not actually specified for the vehicle. The engine vacuum hose routing diagram label is often used during in-use Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing to verify proper emissions related components. As a result, incorrect vacuum hose routing diagram label information may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. A letter, with label enclosed, is being sent to all owners of affected vehicles known to MMNA, instructing them to install the new Vacuum Hose Routing Diagram label themselves. A copy of the customer notification letter is included with this bulletin. Vehicle owners who do not want to install the label are advised to ask their Mitsubishi Motors retailer to install the label at no charge.
Dealers with unsold affected vehicles in inventory must install a new label on each of these vehicles. Dealers who have unsold affected vehicles in inventory will receive with this bulletin a list of these vehicles and a supply of labels for these unsold vehicles. DO NOT order the labels from MMNA Parts. If there is no list included with this bulletin, records indicate that your dealership does not have any affected vehicles in inventory. If any listed vehicle has been sold, the dealer should contact the purchaser of that vehicle to arrange for installation of the new label.
