Mine too. I need to get that heater dial fixed, but I'm just passed my warranty. I figure the guys at Murrieta Mitsubishi will take care of me, hopefully....

where's the recall for the fan temp controller module? i know for a fact there is a recall for that, because i got the recall paperwork in the mail and went and had it fixed.
also, when i first got the car, there was a recall for the grommet on the o2 sensor wire. it was found to be defective and would let water into the cabin and rust out your floor. received that paperwork in the mail, and went and got it fixed.
i have not received any of the others in the mail.

well im the type of guy that likes to be in everything, mitsu techs. didnt mind me being there shadow... after the test drive, the tech told the service manager "this guy needs a new tranny", service manager tells me he has to get it approved from the district manager.....
later that day, the service manager calls me and tells me "it was approved, we have ordered the tranny, it should be in on thursday"... the car goes in on friday morning and i should have it back that afternoon...
the service manager also mentioned to me that this was a $4100 warrenty claim... crazy!!! (just for the tranny)

The wing and brakes are also not TSBs, but if you are still under warranty, your dealer may fix those for you. Some people have gone and had those things replaced with no questions asked while others have been told that those items are not warrantiable. Hopefully, your dealer is cool about it.
