Mitsubishi Asx: Power Steering Assistance May Be Inoperative
Mitsubishi ASX Power Steering Recall Summary Mitsubishi is recalling 6,154 ASX vehicles (right-hand drive models) because the electrical wiring to the power steering control unit may not be properly secured. Vibration from normal driving could disconnect this wiring, causing the power steering to stop working and making the steering heavier, though the vehicle would still be controllable. Affected vehicles will be repaired by installing a modified bracket and securing clip.

Remedy: All affected vehicles will be recalled for the fitment of a modified bracket and securing clip.
