Recall is from Feb last year. Call Mitsubishi and get them to check your VIN to see if you need the tensioner changed. If you changed the tensioner before the recall I'd get it redone.

Just had my 09 NT in for the timing chain check first step. Apparently it was out by 5mm or something and has to go back in two weeks for them to remove the rocker cover etc to do a visual inspection.
I'm a little worried driving it around to be honest! I'd hate the timing chain to snap or come loose at speed! I've had a motor seize on my doing 30km per hr and that still fish tailed!
Anyone had it make it to the second check and not get repaired? I just want them to do it!
I'd love the opportunity to grab the inlet manifold to give it a clean while it's off. I wonder what my chances would be like?

Hi guys
Does anyone know if the replaced timing chain tensioner is a revised part?
Like the revision from the old timing chain guide to the new one (completely new design)
Or is it a case of premature wear and they just replace it with the same part (but brand new).2012 NW Pajero GXL 3.2LComment

The newer tensioner does have a different part number being 1141A045 compared to old being 1141A035........could be just something as spring tension. Have a look at thread below bud.

Reviving a really old thread here.
My MY12 NW (owned for a whole 8 weeks, 150k on the clock) started getting the tick about 2 weeks ago. It's since got loud enough I can hear it in the cab.
Turns out, over here in NZ, MMNZ still have not published a recall notice 6 years after Japan/Aussie/UK all have.
I'm trying to figure out how many of us might be affected this side of the ditch. I've seen a few comments from one of the other threads of a couple of kiwis commenting in 2015 that they hadn't been notified.
There's only ~3200 Pajeros in the MY08-14 time period registered in NZ, so possibly they think there's no need to. Who knows.
If there's any other kiwi's that might be affected, reach out a bit of pressure on MMNZ might help.Comment

If it is making noises & hasn't been done, I'd get it checked pronto, as the consequences can be catastrophic!Originally posted by chhobby View Post
I don't think it is a big job nor the part very costly, so I wouldn't mess around waiting for a freeby that may never appear.Pajero NX MY21 GLSComment

Thanks Spot. Yea that's the plan. I've made contact with the dealer I brought it from (not a MM dealer, but Nissan/Kia) and they're indicating they'll pull it back and do the work given it's only 2 months since I purchased it. They're being pretty accommodating, guess I've done half the work for them to try and get reimbursed from MMNZ.Originally posted by spot01 View PostComment

An update!
Transport authority first tried to palm me off. After asking them for more information, the accidently sent me the MMNZ reply before recalling it.
Summary of what I have determined:- A recall notice was put out in all the other major markets, but not in NZ
- In NZ a service campaign was issued, but not a recall. So MMNZ only carried the work out on NZ new units.
- MMNZ believe it's not a safety issue, although the recall notices in other markets suggest that MMC believe it is - MM Aussie: "With continued use under this condition, the timing chain may break and, in the worst case scenario, the engine could stop and not restart creating a potential accident hazard to the occupants and other road users."
Really interested how MMNZ can decide it's not a recall issue, when the other notices suggest that MMC believe it is one.
The dealer (non MMNZ affiliated) I brought it from (<2 months ago) has been really good though, so that's a positive.

Snapped mine before the recall at 100kph on the fast lane on a motorway. created a bit of havoc waiting for the tow truck. Cost to rebuild $8,7000 not done at dealer. When the recall was announced I contacted MM. They said the cost of the rebuild was to high and offered me $4,600!!! Try rebuilding a diesel engine for that price. I took the $4,600 as it was better than nothing.
MM had known about the problem for a while before mine snapped. A member in the same 4WD club had his chain snap before mine at 40,000k and had the motor rebuilt under warranty. Mine had 180,000k on it.Comment

4k out of pocket on a known issue is pretty bullshit. Did they do the rebuild for you, or a private mechanic?Comment

Private diesel engine rebuilder. It was a full rebuild not a patch up job MM may have done. The injectors were even mangled.
It let go big time as you can imagine at 2,000 revs on a motor way,Comment

Yea! That's what my worry is to. Tbh, I'm comfortable making the swap, it's the inspection of the chain, and whether I should swap that too. An extra $500 is a bit much to just say screw it and do it.Comment
