Does a recall affect your Mitsubishi Grandis?

Not every Mitsubishi Grandis is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Brake lamps may not illuminate

Launched 28 November 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/109 Manufacturer ref. R3025630R3025631

Defect
Silicon grease applied to the brake light switch during production may penetrate the switch and insulate the contacts. This may prevent the stop lamps from operating and on vehicles with automatic transmission the shift lever cannot be moved from the park position.
Remedy
Clean mounting and replace brake light switch
Vehicles affected
3,535 across everything the recall covers
Built

Stop lights may not operate/exhaust heat shield may detach

Launched 15 July 2009 DVSA recall R/2009/042 Manufacturer ref. R3016921

Defect
1) It has been identified that as the result of the manufacturing process silicon grease may have contaminated the stop lamp switch contacts. This can result in oxidation of the contacts and prevent the stop lamps operating when the footbrake is applied. 2) It has also been identified that during high speed driving high stresses are generated around the exhaust muffler heat shield which in the worst case scenario can cause the shield to detach from the vehicle.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the stop lamp switch replaced. Additionally on petrol engined vehicles the exhaust muffler heat shield will be replaced with one of a modified design.
Vehicles affected
2,930 Grandis vehicles

Exhaust heat shield may detach

Launched 15 July 2009 DVSA recall R/2009/041 Manufacturer ref. R3016910

Defect
It has been identified that during high speed driving high stresses are generated around the exhaust muffler heat shield which in the worst case scenario can cause the shield to detach from the vehicle
Remedy
Recalled petrol engined vehicles will have the heat shield replaced with one of a modified design. Whereas on diesel engined vehicles testing has shown that the heat shield is not required therefore it will be removed.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Mitsubishi Grandis. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
