A TSB is factory repair guidance, not a recall — the repair is not automatically free. For defects and free repairs, see the Mitsubishi Lancer problem rankings and each year's recall list.
Warranty extensions, campaigns & software updates
The communications worth checking your VIN against — unlike ordinary bulletins, these can mean free or reimbursed work if your vehicle qualifies.
This is a Technical Information Notice informing dealers that MMNA is launching a social media campaign targeting vehicle owners with open Takata recalls.
