On the way to work Friday morning my drivers side mirror cracks after turning the defrosters on . I went to the dealer ship right after work and they took pictures and are sending them in to the warranty dept . T he service writer said he has had 2 others come in in the last 2 weeks .
Friday morning was about 8 degrees when I went to work but it has been alot colder when I have used the defrosters so Im not sure why it cracked but hopefully Mitsu will cover it



this was shown to me also
Passenger Heated Mirror Cracked

The heater is just on or off, no in-between settings... guess it heated up right at that particular thermo limit of the glass.

You're still under warranty so I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.


PS:
Thanks for finding out the correct fatigue temperature of our mirrors... at ~ 8°.

 

Yep that's what I have figured , I have a whopping 5800 miles on it ...lol. I will let you guys know what happens

 

I just called my dealership and they said it's not covered by warranty (in Canada)

 

It's kind of hard to figure it wouldn't be covered with having 2 or 3 come into the dealership with in a week here ..but you never know what they will cover ...if they don't cover it I will complain ..
mRVR yes it's just an on or off system tired in with the rear window defroster .

 

I'm thinking of collecting on all examples from different members and then sending it off to Mitsubishi corporate for further review. However, it looks like this issue is a one off kind of thing so it may be hard to but up a case.

 

wow that's sucks on the plus side that's a pretty slick jacket!

 

Jay did you call both Hyatt and Platinum?

 

I called Platinum only, and it was a service girl who picked up. Maybe I'll give Hyatt a call tomorrow.

 

Thanks Texas, I will post better pics of the jacket later

 

Here you go Texas

 

Ok....... Mitsubishi does not cover the cracked mirror .
But because my dealer likes us and we have 2 OS's which both went in for their first oil changes this morning ...my dealer ship changed the mirror glass for free saved me 135 bucks .. thank you very much..

 

That's one way to comp you.


Your dealer got good karma.
