So i went and got my lancer serviced at 31k miles and I was told there was a upcoming TSB to replace the front sensors. I believe it will cost the dealership about 103 dollars US. Thats all I know though.
The paper she printed out said November 17th effective date.
Thought Id let everyone know.
Thanks.
