Pajero timing chain recall

[Kochie]

Has anyone else heard about the recall Mitsubishi is doing on a selection of pajeros for their timing chain tensioner? A mate from work was going on about it today and it got me thinking if maybe Mitsubishi and Nissan use the same supplier for the tensioner, Nissan should be doing the same for the d40's??
Just a thought

It would be amazing if Nissan did a recall but I reckon it would send them bankrupt.

^ That's a fair point. Replacing the timing chains+tensioners isn't a 10-minute job.

Mistubishi must be feeling that pain too. Someone had to balance the scales between the parts & labour cost and the damage to goodwill. If Nissan DO announce a recall now, they'll look like they're chasing Mitsu's tail. In their favour, though, Nissan have been doing a few timing chains under goodwill.

I'd like to see it done, especially if they fit a stronger chain like yd25.com.au supplies (or even stronger, a hyvo).

A lot of company's do internal repair replace bulletin's instead of recalls if its not a safety issue as it is cheaper and saves face.
Nissan has the d23 coming out this year with a new motor so I think its a case of move on and don't mention the war....

Aparantly the yd25 is making a comeback in the d23.

Yd25 is in the d23 already , our market will see the yd23 with two turbos

Apparently the pajero tensioner and chain replacement is a big job too requiring the head to be removed so its big dollars for mitsushity.
