Mitsubishi
Motors Philippines
identifies 270 Lancers with horn malfunction
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines in a press statement said that it has
already identified the 270 Lancers which it has to inspect for horn
malfunction. Although there were no warranty cases reported for this
defect, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines nevertheless coordinated with
the office of Undersecretary Adrian Cristobal Jr. of the Department
of Trade and Industry late last month to take effect a service recall
for these units.
The Lancer defect
lies in the horn contact ring that was not tightened sufficiently at
the assembly stage, thus when the driver presses the horn, the contact
ring may become detached, and the horn will not make a sound. Mr. Kengo
Takase, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines said that
MMPC has already mobilized its Service Operations Department to trace
the units from its customer and vehicle data. The
270 affected 1996 Lancer 1.3 models were identified to have the following
SERIAL/CHASSIS NUMBERS:
CK1ASN –
00031 up to CK1ASN – 00300
He said that all the Mitsubishi Motors Philippines service centers nationwide
have been alerted to implement the inspection and replacement of the
defective horn cover assembly of the affected units on a free of charge
basis. If your vehicle is
part of the list above, it is requested that you get in touch with MMPC
Service Operations Department c/o Engineer DAVE DOCTOR at telephone
nos. 658-0719, or 658-0109 to 16 local 236
