MODEL: 1986 Cordia/Tredia
SUBJECT:
1986 2.0L FEDERAL CORDIA/TREDIA
EMISSION RECALL
PURPOSE
This bulletin provides a detailed procedure for inspection and repair of the emission control system on all 1986 2.0L Federal Emission Specification Cordia/Tredia models. A letter has been sent to all owners who have had EMR-90-010 completed telling them to return their vehicles to their Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have the engine serviced. A copy of this letter is shown in this bulletin.
Note:
Information regarding this recall is also available on video tape. Technicians and service managers are strongly urged to review the video program in addition to this bulletin.
Please note that the customer is not to be charged for the repairs covered by this bulletin. To achieve the desired results, the procedure MUST be followed EXACTLY as described in this bulletin. In addition, servicing technicians must complete, sign, and attach the emission recall checklist (which is contained in the emission kit) to the repair order.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As a result of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of EMR-90-010, a new recall is needed. Audit results showed that incomplete repairs were performed on some vehicles.
All dealerships MUST perform all steps described in this bulletin including all previous recall checks. Incomplete repairs will lead to emissions non-compliance and obvious customer dissatisfaction. The EPA will survey the results of this campaign several months after starting. If incomplete repairs or non-compliance is found, another recall could be ordered or other action undertaken by EPA.
Furthermore, the EPA may consider failure to properly perform emission recall procedures as tampering, which may subject the servicing dealer to a fine of up to $25,000 per vehicle.
Confirm that you are using the proper Technical Service Bulletin repair procedures and service kits for the vehicle model year and engine size that you are working on. Service procedures are different even though some vehicles and recall bulletins may look alike.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This procedure applies to all 1986 2.0L Federal Emission Specification Cordia/Tredia mode's with manual or automatic transmission without limiltation as to mileage. It does not apply to any other models.
