SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE ACCUMULATOR ON MY BRAKE BOOSTER IS GOING BAD. THERE IS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH PANEL BY THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALER TO HAVE THE ACCUMULATOR REPLACED SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL (01V254001) ON THIS PART FOR MY VEHICLE (2002 MITSUBISHI MONTERO) PRODUCED BEFORE JUNE 20,2001. MY VEHICLE'S VIN# IS [XXX] AND IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED ON OR AFTER JUNE 20,2001. SO AS IT STANDS I HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC PART ON THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLE FOR THAT SPECIFIC YEAR AND IT HAPPENS TO NOT BE A RECALL. THIS SITUATION DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT. *NM UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
