I think they were upset about me having an aftermarket cat-back and it was extra for some reason or another with the fuel line recall...

I was tired and in no real mood to argue so I paid the 20 bucks...

 

There is a modified list the dealerships can put you on, it's what they cal flagging the car. I have a mitsubishi dealership as 1 of my customers, so this is where I take my car (+1 for making good relationships). They do not need to remove the UICP for the fuel line recall. I f'd my pipe and asked the guy I know who works on the evo's at the dealership not to remove it, he said no problem he didn't need to and I watched him do it. Ultimately it would be wise to get it done because if your car does burn to the ground and insurance (even bigger scam artists then mitsubishi) can put the blame on not having the recall, bye bye car and no insurance.

 

Read the thread I made.

PM me and i can direct you somewhere..

 

Dude that sucks and that is BS. I toke my car to the dealership to get the recalls taken care of. At the time I had a AP CBE, AMS HFC, AMS CAI, AMS FMIC w/ Piping, and they did the recalls for me for free.

 

My dealership here told me according to the manual, everything in front of the turbo can be changed by the book, without limiting warranty. so just cause you got those simple mods doesn't stop them from doing their job! They just being retarded ******

 

To those who have not done or fix this recall, get IT DONE!!!!Very important. I have ignored that recall, by new years time, bracket actually broke the fuel line and it was spraying gas all over the place. It smelled so bad that fixing it took them a few minutes and cleaning the engine bay took them hours. OH yeah, I had the injen intake and upper pipe in it. Had no issues with the dealer.

 

they were also complaining that the AEM intake box was in the way also,

i will try another dealership whene i get a chance

 

If the AEM intake box in the way, than wouldnt the stock intake box be in the way also?

 

FWIW it appears that it is UR dealership that is the problem, not the UICP or CAI. I agree with others that the dealership has to install safety issues under warranty regardless of the mod's. I would go back to them, assuming there is not another dealership nearby, and raise three points: (1)many if not all, including myself have had dealerships replace the fuel line segments despite the existence of the mods U have (copy the posts herein as proof) and (2) there is no added time/expense in the install because of UR mods and (3) U can bring (1) and (2) to Mitsu corp's attention and the fact that this dealership will not install this mandatory safety TSB. I would bring these facts to the head of service and the owner/manager of the dealership; if they reconsider, U are done; if they say no, get it in writing and definitely send to Mitsu. If the latter, I feel certain U can find another dealership that will install this mod; it takes < one hour.

Later, Ken

 

what are the other recalls other than this fuel line?

 

Waiting for mine to burst into flames...thank the lord for GAP insurance.

The other semi-current one is the "AWC ECU reflash", for cold weather states.

 

Si00dcracer convinced me to by one, it's only $20.00 for the kit. That is the first I heard of an actual failure, so yeah I bought it.

The dealer will not see my car though

 

Another option is to make them give you something that says in writing that they will not do the recall. I highly doubt they will. But ask them to and watch them squirm.
