Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The accumulator on my brake booster is going bad. there is a strange noise coming from the left side of the dash panel by the brake pedal. i have taken the vehicle to the mitsubishi dealer to have the accumulator replaced since it is a safety issue. there is a recall (01v254001) on this part for my vehicle (2002 mitsubishi montero) produced before june 20,2001. my vehicle's vin# is [xxx] and it is not covered in the recall because it was manufactured on or after june 20,2001. so as it stands i have a defective part installed in a vehicle that has a recall for that specific part on that specific vehicle for that specific year and it happens to not be a recall. this situation does not sound right. *nm updated 07/16/2012 *js *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
