Have just been to my local dealer to obtain a few bits and upon entering my reg a flag came up requesting a safety recall. Apparently the rear upper suspension arms are faulty and have to be replaced. Just thought I would let people know and take a visit to your dealer to check this problem out.

just a quick tip if u r having them done, check your fuel filler pipe had my old silver evo 4 recalled for this work and ended up forking out £130 for a new filler pipe Main dealer wanted over £200 + fitting for the filler pipe

check your rear strut top mount as they tend to crack, mine has, drivers side is common to for some reason, must be all the super unleaded they go through

I know the old girl is getting on but it was there in black and white and no questions asked at the service desk. I guess they lose track of where the car is. Anyway its a free service so might aswell get it sorted.

There is a service campaign (ref SNL-05-34-02) on all Evo IV,V and VI inc Tommi Maks.
Model no's CN9A and CP9A.

This campaign involves replacement of the Rear upper suspension arms due to a possible crack occuring in the press fit portion of the bush.

Owners of imports are required to contact a dealer who will advise them how to proceed.

Offical repair time is 2.8 hrs, but may be required for the whole day if any problems are found.

This repair is free of charge if carried out through a Mitsubishi service point in the UK.

If you need any further advice Ring mits customer service and they will run checks to see if the car as had the work done over here or b for it was imported. Took about 3 weeks for them to get back intouch with me

its a full recall on there part guys

as i said above i had my old silver evo 4 done and like i said the only part i had to splash out for was the fuel filler pipe as all the crap of the road tends to rust the bottom part of it....

I guess this is one of those things that will take years to sort as like I said how many times do you take a 17 yr old car to a main dealer? Its only by chance that I found this out. Also its not good news when the service guy says that " our fitters love working on evos, means they get to take them for a spin" so on this I will be taking note of mileage lol
