MQ Towbar Recall

MQ Towbar Recall

Postby bigboots on Thu Feb 16, 2017 6:28 pm

Received advice from MMAL in regards to a problem with genuine Mitsubishi towbars where the mounting bolts can work loose. Got it booked in for a check on Monday. Apparently some mounting bolts have no spring washers fitted to the assembly. Anyone else received this and what was the result of the checks/repair.

Mine was done at the last service (July last year)
Pretty sure they replaced the bolts for a higher tensile strength bolt, unless this is a new recall?

When the MQ came out the towbar was supplied with flanged head bolts and nuts. It was found they were working loose so the recall was issued to replace these with normal bolts, spring and flat washers that they have been using without issue on the ML/MN

Interesting that it has taken so long to advise that there is a problem after so long. Things must work very slowly through MMAL
