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.

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.

SAE J2210 specifications. If accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT
be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some
mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at
elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may
cause fire and/or explosions. See AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE
article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
AIR CLEANER FILTER
WARNING: Operating the engine with the air cleaner off can cause you
or others to be burned. The air cleaner not only cleans the
air, it stops flame if the engine backfires. Do not drive
with it off, and be careful working on the engine with the
air cleaner off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that
can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference
could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability,
such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals.
On models equipped with anti-lock brake systems, ALWAYS
observe the following cautions:
* DO NOT attempt to bleed hydraulic system without first
referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
in the BRAKES Section.
* DO NOT mix tire sizes. As long as tires remain close to the
original diameter, increasing the width is acceptable.
Rolling diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some
manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
wheel speed readings.
* Use ONLY recommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
fluids in an ABS-equipped vehicle.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SERVICE
WARNING: Make certain that no fluid is spilled when the transaxle
fluid is inspected, or when fluid is added soon after
driving (since the engine is hot). If the fluid spills onto
the exhaust manifold, there is danger of fire.
BATTERY SERVICE
WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
WARNING: Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or and explosion may occur.
Never smoke when working in the vicinity of the battery.
WARNING: When checking or servicing the battery, disconnect the
negative cable. Be careful not to cause a short circuit by
Page 968 of 1501
allowing metal objects to contact the battery posts and the
vehicle at the same time.
CAUTION: Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running;
doing so could damage the car's electrical components.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: DO NOT use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored
in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign
particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
ENGINE COOLANT SERVICE
WARNING: To avoid the danger of being scalded never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION: When adding or replacing engine coolant, use a high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with 50% distilled water.
When putting the cap on the reserve tank, line up the arrow
on the cap and the arrow on the tank, or coolant can leak out
ENGINE DRIVE BELT SERVICE
WARNING: Be sure the ignition key is OFF. The engine could rotate
unexpectedly.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: The engine oil may be high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug
is cool enough to touch with you bare hands.
WARNING: Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to
cause skin cancer in laboratory animals. Brief contact with
used engine oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure
to used oil, wear a long sleeve shirt and moisture-proof
gloves when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
