Mitsubishi Grandis: Exhaust Heat Shield May Detach
Recall Summary Mitsubishi is recalling 891 Grandis vehicles because the exhaust heat shield can detach during high-speed driving due to stress around the muffler. Petrol-engine vehicles will receive a redesigned heat shield, while diesel-engine vehicles will have the shield removed entirely since testing shows it's not necessary for those models. This recall affects Mitsubishi Grandis vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.
