OK, so the recall is on the ECU wiring harness? That means I'll have to un-tap the wiring for my turbo timer.

They try to get the car completely wet and see if it needs additional sealing, and then they do it, they might have to do some repairs if the wiring is affected, but that should be all.

The work took about 1 hour, and the smell of the undercoating afterwards was enough to knock you out. I actually felt light-headed afterwards!! Do yourself a favor and let it air-out!

I have an Evo with the the small wing--which I think was one of the latest productions-- May 2003. When I was installing my catback--I noticed some kind of sealing material on the side rails under the car. It looks like a thick kind of ruffled tape with the black undercoating applied to it. Is this what the dealers are applying to the affected cars?

Had my recall work done this morning at Bell Mitsubishi in Rahway NJ the dealership I purchased it from. Well I woke up at 6:30 am to get there for my 7:30am appointment and damn their service is horrible. They took my key's at 7:45 am I was the second person online, and I didn't leave til 10am after I called them out on the bull**** they were pulling on me. The work must have taken them 10 mins because I didn't see them take the car in, and from 8:30 - 10am the car was just sitting in the smae spot. At 9am I asked them when they planned on taking my car in because I didn't see them take it in, I was told "they are working on it right now" I told them I had class to get to. At 10 am it was still sitting in the same spot so I went into the Service Dept and said the car has been sitting in the same spot for 2 hours what's doing on, and you said they were working on it. Well it turned out the car was done for 2 hours they just didn't feel like closing out the paper work for my car. They were going to have me just sit there and miss class becuse they are lazy as ****. I'll admit that the car was worked on because when I got in my car I was going to pass out from the fumes of the insulator they installed. They made an excuse that the insulator needed to cure and sit before getting driven.

All we do is apply a little 3M sealer right above the pinchweld were it wasn't sealed right from factory, Then put some overspray on it. We also pull down the O2 wire connector to check for corrosion in the harness. We do a leak test to see if water leaks down under the driver and passanger seat... which consist of running water on the fresh air vents and feeling under the carpet for moisture. The recall usually takes us a half an hour to complete depending on if we find a problem of not. The sealer takes a while to dry, thats why we usually wait before we ship them out..
It is an open recall on all Lancer at this point and all Outlanders.
Please go to your local dealership and have them check on the dealerlink to see if your vehicel has an open recall..

Falconsra-Thanks for the informative reply. By "open recall" do you mean it covers ALL Lancers & Outlanders? Why have some owners on this list gotten recall letters & some have not (I haven't)?
Thanks,
Dan
BTW what exact 3m product do you use? Frankly, I'd rather just do it myself.
