Are there any recalls/service bulletins for 03 EVO
I was wondering if there are any recalls or service bulletins for the 03 EVO. I bought mine a little over a month ago and I asked my dealer to see if there were any and they said that there wasnt. I have been reading on here that some people had a recall for a fan switch and even a few synchros in the tranny. If there are any recalls on the EVO how can I get proof of it cause they are telling me there are not any at all for it at my local dealer? Thanks in advance guys.

The cooling fan controller was a recall, not a bulletin. Regardless, the place to get this information is a dealership. Call one and they'll run your VIN and tell you what recalls are outstanding.

Keep in mind, not all recalls apply to all cars. Some apply to only specific production runs. If you're concerned about recalls, you should just call a dealership and ask. They will eventually send you a notice, assuming they have your up to date contact information, but that doesn't mean you can't call and see whenever you like.

I have had four things done. The first is a possible leak near the front windshild.. mine was checked and the defect did not exist. The second was the label and I ignored that until I had it in for the third which was the fan controler. The last one was the fifth gear syncro. PM , me if you need the specifics from my service records as to numbers and so forth. I took advantage of the tranny TSB, my dealer put in a new clutch flywheel at no labor (btw she is a hot blonde).

Is there a web page I can access so I can print it out and take it to them? My dealer here in town does not have the smartest people working there.
