Troubled car maker Mitsubishi Motors Corp said on Tuesday it would spend Y20 million ($A312,000) recalling 37,000 sporty Lancer Evolution sedans in Japan and abroad to fix an exhaust problem.
Moisture in the exhaust pipe could clog up an oxygen sensor causing it to crack and malfunction.

As a result, the car may release more exhaust fumes than necessary, explained Mitsubishi spokesman Mitch Hayes.

"We will replace the oxygen sensors with new ones," he said. About 32,000 Lancer Evolutions would be recalled in Japan and 5000 from overseas markets, mainly Britain, New Zealand and the Middle East.

Mitsubishi has received 14 reports of such a problem, but it has not caused any accidents.

The recall covers vehicles made between January 7, 1998 and April 3, 2002.

Mitsubishi's image was tarnished after it confessed in August 2000 to having failed to inform authorities about at least 64,000 customer complaints over faulty vehicles since 1977, opting to repair the vehicles itself instead of issuing costly model-wide recalls.

 

Yes Evos or CP9A and CT9A (because there wasn't 32000 Evos built in between '98-'02) built between those dates and any model associated with the 4G63 engine. But check the dates to see if your Evo does fall in the recall built dates. However I would get the O2 sensor checked out regardless.

How many owners still have the stock exhaust too?
I dont think its a very big deal but they still have to report it.

 

My 1999 Evo 6 GSR falls right into this recall. Do I just contact my nearest Mitsi dealer?
