I don't see how it would really affect anything other than safety and coolant pressure. Sure having a stiffer non-flexing hose will help with coolant pressure just a tad through the turbo, but other than that I don't see any reason for the car to act different.

 

I just got my coolant hose replaced. As part of the recall you get a full synthetic oil change for FREE!

I would highly recommend having it done for the FREE oil change.

 

damn just got my recall letter in the mail today!! ahhhhhhhhhhh

 

I just got mine in the mail today
Build date Mar 2005

 

My dealer, White Plains Mitsu actually called me to inform me of the recall. Just had it performed today. Would have been a $138 repair if it weren't part of the recall.

 

Had mine replaced last week. I don't think that a free oil change is part of the deal. They did drain some coolant and replace it with some new coolant. Car feels exactly the same. Took about an hour.

 

Just had it done today. Thanks for the post!!!
P.S. They said nothing about my lowered, sway bar'd, huge exhaust silver bullet. I am liking this dealer....so far.

 

Had my recall done today also.

guys-CHECK ur coolant level, sometimes they forget to refill it if it's spilled after changing out the hose. . .

 

i just bought an 05 like 2 days ago do you think its part of the recall cuz i asked one the salesman about it and he had no clue what i was talking about

 

???

 

have them check your VIN man. . it could be, it might be, you'd only know once Mitsu gets notice of the purchase and runs YOUR VIN and then notifies the person on the title (hopefully you). . .read up above, call that 1-800 number with your VIN, if you're part of the campaign, get it done, and check your coolant level after and have them top it off in case it's low. . .

 

so... i got my 05' evo just last labor day. can i safely assume that they already took care of that recall???

EDIT: nevermind! i'll just call and check it out myself.... thanks anyway

 

best way to find out is check on the side of the door or call in

 

I just got off the phone w/ MMNA customer service. My VIN is not listed as having any recalls. The service rep was not aware of any 2005 recalls though.
