21 TSBs and 1 Recall for the 2003 Evo. There was no list for 2004 Evos, and one of these says it counts on 2004s, but I'm not sure about the rest.

Only 1 Recall, and it's not a big deal. Just a sticker change...

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 7278
Summary:
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO, THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) AND GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) AS STATED ON THE CERTIFICATION LABEL ARE IN ERROR.

Consequence:
OVERLOADING CAN DAMAGE YOUR VEHICLE, ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING HANDLING AND BRAKING, CAUSE TIRE FAILURE, AND RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 31, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820.

 

FYI = TSB Is a fix or a commom problem that is sent out to the dealership technicians in order to assist them with techincal issues that may occur in certain models! Basically it is inter-manufacturer emails from one service department to another or Mitsubishi collected data that is available for the serivce department.

If you are experiencing one of these problems, please bring your vehicle into your local dealership and let them know that you are aware of the TSB so they can properly fix the problem. This will (in most cases) be covered under factor warranty.

There must be an actual problem in order for them to fix it under warranty. I would not suggest complaining about a problem that does not exist (especially if you have mods that would void your warranty and are expecting Mitsubishi to honor the said warranty).

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

 

thanks war, looks like im ok....so far

 

See this pisses me off, cause my Recaro seat broke and the tech claimed that it was abused and didn't fix the part. I did get it documented at the dealership though, and I'm going to take it back and see if I can get it fixed.

 

Take those TSB and NHTSA numbers with you.

 

can u find 2004 tsbs?

 

There was no Evo selection for 2004, just the regular Lancer.

 

I guess the bugs are all sorted out on the 04's...haha sure would be nice if it were the truth....

 

That's funny, my heater dial is kinda hard to turn - but I never thought to bring the car in on that one. That's good info, thanks Warrtalon.

 

Thats funny and seems a little low!
I was in my buddys office checking 04's TSB's and holy **** batman, I love my car but I am drivng a FU<KING lemon!
door jams
paint
plastic door jam seals
ecu trip codes
trunk latch
wing
manual TA
UM
rear speakers
rear glass rattle
(by the way the new mitsu trucks leak and they have too take out the entire dash in some to put a seal trim in to fix it) i guess since the Evo rear glass dont leak they let it go .
Sorry I dont feel like typing so thats all for now!

 

How can you tell if the seats are broken? I heard my seat crack very loud one time awhile back, thought I broke somthing but I could never find it. Anyone got a picture of one to explain?

 

isn't there a TSB for tranny synchro on the 03?
my temp dial is sticking and hard to turn, i hope they don't void my claim because i have an exhaust.

 

^ Just put the stock exhaust back on and go in, 109MPH for your mods is good!
