Recall released: 2007 to 2014 Pajero 3.2L Diesel

[Axis]

I received a recall letter and booked with dealer on the 24th of March, hopefully the timing chain is ok as the car has done only about 20,000K, just wondering if engine oil is changed when they replace the tensioner.

Nope. Oil is not changed.

[Silverfox]

Took my Pajero in this morning and just received a phone call to say its ready to be picked up.
Only had to change the timing chain tensioner.

[traktor]

Nope. Oil is not changed.

I asked the cost of a oil and filter change while it was in for recall was told $240 I said thanks mate I will give it a miss


I LOVE MMs SERVICE just makes me want to buy another one

Recall

I just had my timing chain tensioner replaced and my chain inspected on my 2014 Exceed with 12000 km and everything seems alright.

Before this I range Mitsubishi Australia and they identified my Vin and stated the tensions MUST be replaced and the chain inspected for wear. If it was worn it would be replaced.

When I picked it up from the dealer I requested a copy of the recall work sheet that outlined what was done.

Regards

I dropped into my local MM, they only got a total of 40 kits apparently, so they've just taking my details and added it to the pile and will contact me when they get to it...

Does that sound right?

Sounds a bit odd - usually manufacturers ensure they have sufficient parts available before they announce the recall - perhaps they are just waiting for their next delivery? I'd give them a couple of weeks & then call them to check.

Yes, most Dealers were sent 40 only.

Mitsubishi at Sutherland Booking NO FRIDAYS

Went to book my NT in for replacement etc of timing chain tensioner and was told they don't do warranty work on Fridays, I told them thats the only day I get off a month to bring it in and again they stated they don't do warranty work/recall work on a Friday.

Could this be correct?

I'd try another dealer.....

I'd try another dealer.....

I would call MM Australia surely that's BS if its a national recall. they would have an obligation.

Pajero Recall

Hi Guys,
My I am the Service Manager at Chadstone Mitsubishi in Melbourne, also the President of the Pajero Club (vic)
I noticed a few queries from people having trouble getting the recall done due to limited parts at their locla dealer. If anyone is in Melbourne, and they want it done, i have at least 80+ in stock, and can get more overnight, so we'd be happy to do it for you.

Thank you

Paul Hicks

Thanks for all the feedback on this,
I will be contacting the dealer today & asking for a detailed record of work done
I can see that the tensioner & gasket has been replaced but thinking more about it some sort of documentation to keep with my handbook would be good.
Cheers, Paul

Just a follow up.
I have received a no value invoice in the mail detailing work done.
Happy with that. Will keep with my service records now.
Should have stood my ground when work was done & asked then.
So if you get the recall done make sure you get the paperwork as the dealer I went to thought it wasn't necessary
Cheers

[Widgeeman]

Had mine done today - only rang yesterday to enquire.
About 1 hr all up, and copy of invoice provided. Mitsubishi Gympie.
Only the tensioner, no chain necessary.
NT with 117,000km.
Happy

Cheers

Do you have Fridays as a No work day on this job as I've been told by the local Mitsubishi Service center they don't carry out this job on Fridays. Could this be right?
