    Mitsubishi Motors Philippines
    Recalls 482 units of '98 Galants

    Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) announced the recall of 482 units of '98 Galants to replace the power transistor and connector for the air conditioner blower fan located under the glove box. The original connector may become loose when nudged and heat up resulting in the shutdown of the air conditioner blower fan motor. In the worst case the legs of the front passenger may get scalded by the heated connector. Although there has been no reported occurrence of blower fan connector overheating in the Philippines , MMPC was directed by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation to conduct the recall locally. MMPC informed the Office of Secretary Juan B. Santos of the Department and Trade and Industry of the recall plan.

    Mr. Kengo Takase, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines said that MMPC has already mobilized its Customer Service Department to trace the units from its customer data base. He said that all the Mitsubishi Motors Philippines service centers nationwide have been alerted to replace the blower fan connectors and power transistor of the affected units completely free of charge.

    The 482 affected 1998 Galant 2.0 Super Saloon and 2.5 VR models were identified to have the following SERIAL/CHASSIS NUMBERS:click here to see

    If your vehicle is part of the listed serial numbers please call MMPC Customer Service Department c/o Roy Aquino, Dick Vinuya or Dave Doctor at telephone nos. 658-0719, 658-0087, or 658-0109 to 16 local 236 to arrange schedule of inspection.

    thanx for sharing the info. bakit kaya ngayon lang? dahil nag-recall din ang honda, o ngayon lang talaga nila nakita 'yung defect?
