The unpleasant news came from Mitsubishi. This well-known automotive manufacturer from Japan announced the recall of the L300 model in the Philippines.

According to Top Gear Philippines, Saturday, October 5, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines (MMCC) started a recall campaign on this commercial vehicle for the 2024 model. It is known that 411 units were affected by this problem.

The company said the recall program was related to problems with transmission that were not filled with lubricants. This can result in faster dental movement and potentially damage these components.

Mitsubishi also announced the recall program because it found cases of transmission failure in the field involving one L300 unit.

The manufacturer will be responsible for handling the problem by urging vehicle owners to take L300 to the official workshop. It was stated that the cost of the work took four hours.

The workshop technicians will replace components such as transmission, procurer shaft, and snapshot pins for free. However, if this component has been filled with oil, the work is carried out only by tightening the lubricant filling hole with a new cover.

This commercial vehicle comes in two different variants, namely Pick Up Flat Deck and Cabin Chassis. The car also has qualified engine capabilities for various needs.

Equipped with a 4N14 diesel 2,268 cc DOHC 4-cylinder engine, it is fresh to combine direct injection and intercooler common rail turbocharger, L300 has 97 dk of power and 200 Nm of torque. Its heart has met the Euro 4 emission standard.
