Massive Mitsubishi recall to involve 27,000 New Zealand vehicles
A day after Mitsubishi recalled close to 500,000 cars in Australia, they are about to recall 27,000 vehicles in New Zealand . This comes just a day after Toyota recalled over 35,000 vehicles in New Zealand over faulty fuel systems and airbags , part of a global recall of 3.37 million cars. While the Mitsubishi recall has not yet been registered on the NZ Transport Agency's Vehicle Safety database, Mitsubishi NZ spokesman Daniel Cook confirmed the plan and said there was a potential risk that could affect a vehicle's headlights or indicators. "For us here, the issue is a lighting switch connector terminal that can oxidise, basically. "And if that oxidises, the lighting switch could fail or the lights may turn off or may not turn on or something to that effect." The 27,000 vehicles set to be recalled include those from the Lancer , Outlander , Pajero , Triton and iMiEV ranges. The vehicle age range is between 2007 and 2015 , but they will vary a bit
