Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirmed today that 288 WA Starwagon built before September 1994 will be voluntarily recalled in Australia as part of the global recall of a number of different vehicles announced in Japan on June 2, 2004. These are the only vehicles in Australia affected by this announcement.

The following vehicles are covered by the recall:

	VIN Number Range
Model WA0M35	Between JMFWA1M35RJ000006 - JMFWA1M35RJ000471
	Between JMFWA2M35RJ000010 - JMFWA2M35RJ000358
Model WA0H35	Between JMFWA3H35RJ000007 - JMFWA3H35RJ000381
	Between JMFWA4H35RJ000009 - JMFWA4H35RJ000394
Model WA0P95	Between JMFWA8P95RJ000018- JMFWA8P95RJ000175

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) appears on the vehicle compliance plate in the engine compartment.

It has been established that there is a possibility that the left-hand rear brake pipe may contact the shock absorber while driving, and the brake pipe could be damaged. In the worst case the brake pipe assembly may leak, resulting in the loss of braking performance.

Mitsubishi Motors is contacting owners of affected cars directly by letter, asking them to take their vehicle to an Authorised Dealer for inspection, and rectification if required. The inspection is a simple 20 minute job at a Mitsubishi dealership, although if the brake pipe requires replacement it will take approximately 50 minutes. This work will be carried out free of charge.

If any owner thinks their vehicle may be involved, and does not receive a recall letter, they should contact their nearest Mitsubishi dealership for confirmation, inspection or rectification.
