Recall - Child Seat Installation Instructions

No.: SR-04-002
DATE: February, 2004
MODEL: See below

SUBJECT:
TETHER ANCHOR STRAP INSTALLATION
- OWNER'S MANUAL RECALL CAMPAIGN

PURPOSE

The owner's manual provided with affected vehicles does not provide instructions for adjusting the headrest when installing child restraint systems (child safety seats) using the vehicle's tether mounts. If the tether strap is improperly installed to the tether anchor, the child safety seat may not be sufficiently restrained.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2001 Montero, 2003 Outlander, 2000-2003 Diamante models

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION





A letter with a corrective label will be sent to all owners of affected vehicles, instructing them to affix the label to the appropriate page in their owner's manual. If they do not wish to affix the label themselves, they can bring it and the manual to a Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have the label installed. A sample copy of a customer notification letter appears later in this bulletin.

REQUIRED OPERATIONS





Affected new or used inventory vehicles must have the owner's manual corrected before the vehicle is sold. See your local Mitsubishi Dealer for the VINs list.

Remove the backing and affix the corrective owner's manual label to the appropriate owner's manual page.

WARRANTY INFORMATION - No warranty claims should be submitted for this campaign
