Mitsubishi Shogun: Possible Loss Of Power Assistance To Brakes
Summary Mitsubishi is recalling 4,319 Shogun vehicles in the United Kingdom because the brake booster accumulator may be defective, potentially causing delayed brake assist during hard braking or requiring harder pedal pressure after the vehicle has been parked for extended periods. The manufacturer will replace the affected brake booster accumulator with a corrected version.
- Recalling firm
- MITSUBISHI
- Product
- Vehicles: MITSUBISHI SHOGUN. Units affected: 4,319
- Reason
- There is a possibility that the accumulator diaphragm in the Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB) might be manufactured improperly. This may cause the nitrogen pressure in the accumulator to drop. The following two symptoms may result :- 1) The brake assist might be delayed in sudden hard braking. 2) Relatively large brake pedal loads might be required after long-term parking and first engine start since specific brake pressure takes time to accumulate. Remedy: The Hydraulic Brake Booster nitrogen accumulator will be replaced with a modified one on all affected vehicles.
