Mitsubishi recalled Pajero 2017-18

Mitsubishi has recalled the Pajero SUV for the model year 2017-18 due to the concern about the welding strength on the front right-hand lower control arm. As reported, the welding strength of the vehicle is not adequate, and it may lead the front right side suspension lower control arm to fail at one of the weld joints. If the lower control arm fails, the functioning of steering might be affected, which further can increase the chance of accident or injury for the drivers and other road users.

A VIN list of total 6384 vehicles (available for sale between 21 November 2016 - 30 July 2019) is provided by the automaker which may get affected from the aforementioned defect. The vehicle owners of the affected cars can contact the nearest dealer and organize a free fix of the issue. For more information, consumers can call Mitsubishi Motors Australia on 1800 931 811.
