Mitsubishi Galant and Legnum VR4 safety alert
15 June 2004
The Land Transport Safety Authority is ordering 343 Mitsubishi Galant and Legnum Vehicles with potentially serious brake defects off the road.
The action follows the provision of new information from Mitsubishi New Zealand highlighting the potentially dangerous nature of the defect in which leaking nitrogen can cause the brakes to become spongy and to potentially fail altogether.
Owners are being notified by phone from 4pm today (followed by formal written advice over the next few days) that their vehicles are unsafe to drive until replacement parts have been fitted.
The affected vehicles are 1996/7 Galant or Legnum VR4s with automatic transmissions and fitted with the "automatic stability control" function.
