2002 Mitsubishi Galant recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, routing of the vehicle's front harness CAN allow it to come in contact with a rough edge, allowing abrasion. This could result in grounded circuits.
💥 The risk
There could be a loss of stop or turn signal lamp operation or engine hesitation.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a protector, eliminating any harness contact. Owner notification began july 8, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
