98V220000: FRONT BRAKE LINE INSPECTION
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN
Model(s): 1997-98 Mitsubishi Montero
Campaign No: 98V220000
Number of Affected Vehicles: 61800
Beginning Date of Manufacture: 1996 JUN
Ending Date of Manufacture: 1998 MAY
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
Sport utility vehicles.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT:
The front brake lines can develop pin holes due to chaffing against
the edge of the pass-through hole in the inner fender.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT:
Brake fluid can leak resulting in deteriorated braking performance and
illumination of the brake indicator lamp.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Dealers will inspect the front brake lines for signs of wear and
routing. If the lines are not correctly centered in the pass-through
hole, the lines will be repositioned by bending slightly to correct.
If there is evidence of brake line wear, the brake line will be
replaced.
OWNER NOTIFICATION:
Owner notification is expected to begin October 19, 1998. Owners who
take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service
date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time
should contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037. Also contact the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline
at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration operates Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Eastern Time. For more
information call (800) 424-9393 or (202) 366-0123. For the hearing
impaired, call (800) 424-9153.

3) Install a thermometer in fluid reservoir. Start engine and
allow it to idle. Turn steering wheel several times until fluid
temperature reaches 122-140
F (50-60C). Disconnect PSP switch
connector. Install a DVOM between ground and PSP switch terminal. See
Fig. 45 . Note continuity reading on DVOM. Go to next step.
4) With engine idling, gradually close shutoff valve to
increase power steering system pressure. Check pressure when PSP
switch is actuated by watching for a change in continuity. PSP switch

WIRING DIAGRAM COMPONENT LOCATIONS
When trying to locate a component in a wiring diagram and you
don't know the specific system where it is located, use this handy
component locator to find the system wiring diagram in which the
component is located. Then, go to that system and locate the component
within the wiring diagram.
For example, if you don't know the specific system in which
the ignition switch is located, look up ignition switch in the wiring
diagram component location tables and go to the appropriate wiring
diagram(s) which contain either full or partial views of the ignition
switch. The full view of the ignition switch is located in Power
Distribution.
The first listing for the component will be the full or most
complete view of the component. Additional listings will be partial
views of the component. Not all components are used on all models.
All components will have a partial view in Ground
Distribution and Power Distribution. Data Link Connectors show
connecting circuits between modules. Alternate names for components
may be listed in wiring diagram component locations tables.
