TIN-20-00-006: DEALER-OWNED VEHICLE
BATTERY CHECKS (VIMS AND BMIS) — All
Models and Years.
TIN-20-00-006 was released recently and
states:
“Recently there has been an increase in
warranty claims for dealer inventory vehicle
battery replacement. While some of these
claims may have been legitimate defects and
unavoidable, MMNA would like to take this
opportunity to remind dealers of the VIMS
(Vehicle Inventory Maintenance System).
Also, to simplify the process of VIMS, MMNA
recently
incorporated
BMIS
(Battery
Management Information System) through
the new Midtronics battery tester (CPX-930)
which will allow easy recording of battery
tests.

The VIMS can be accessed on the MDL (MDL ->
Service -> Service and Parts Mgt -> VIMS
Information) and contains procedures that
prevent damage and deterioration to dealer
vehicles while they are in inventory. Tracking
forms can also be found here, providing
actions that need to be taken every 30 days.

NOTE: Please review Section 3, page 3-3, of
the Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual
for all battery replacements for in-stock
units.

TIN-20-00-007: TAKATA INFLATOR PICKUP
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED (COVID-19
ACTION PLAN) — 2004-2007 Lancer,
2006-2009 Raider, 2012-2017 i-MiEV.

Of these actions, one is the previously
mentioned battery check. When a dealer
performs a 30-day battery check, they should
utilize their Midtronics Battery Tester to
acquire the results. If the tool is properly
connected, results will be uploaded to BMIS
(find BMIS by going to MDL -> Service ->
Service
Tech
Resources
->
Battery
Management Information System) where all
previous battery tests can be viewed.

TIN-20-00-007 was released recently and
states:
“Effective Tuesday, March 17th, TK Services
will be temporarily suspending pickup of
returned parts at dealerships and customer
facilities. TK Services will also reduce staff
members at their receiving facility.

To confirm the legitimacy of a warranty claim
submitted for a dealer-owned vehicle
battery, the following will need to be
accessible:

When contacting the call center to schedule
new pickups, dealers will be informed that
pickups will not be made, but will resume as
soon as possible. TK Services will maintain a
skeleton crew at the receiving facility to
handle any parts already in transit. This action
is being taken out of an abundance of caution
to mitigate risk to employees and partners,
due to Covid-19 concerns at this time.

Clear, viewable history of 30-day battery
checks

amperage, and specific gravity of each

NOTE: Specific gravity is not recorded with the
Midtronics Battery Tester and will need to be
acquired using a Hydrometer.

TIN-19-31-001REVII: SCRAMBLE ACTIVITY
REQUEST FOR TPMS LIGHT ON ISSUE
(MIRAGE/MIRAGE G4) - REVISED —
2014-2020 Mirage, 2017-2020 Mirage G4.
TIN-19-31-001REV was released recently and
states:
“This TIN supersedes TIN-19-31-001REV,
issued May, 2019, to add 2020 model year
Mirage and Mirage G4 vehicles, and to update
MMNA contact information.
ATTENTION:
MMNA is releasing this TIN again to remind all
dealers to call in for TPMS concerns on Mirage
and Mirage G4. MMC/Japan wants to
perform an onsite inspection of a vehicle
exhibiting this condition as soon as possible.
Please contact Maxwell Sweet at MMNA when
you encounter such a case.
MMNA is looking for a scramble opportunity
on a Mirage or Mirage G4 that displays “TPMS
light on” issue with “tire ID reception fail” DTC.
If the vehicle has C1911, C1921, C1931, or C1941
(either active or stored), please stop your
diagnosis and create a Techline case. Then,
contact the MMNA associate below and he
will guide you with further questions and
instructions.

Due to the design of the brake vacuum pump,
water may penetrate the brake vacuum
pump, causing corrosion. If sufficient
corrosion occurs, the brake vacuum pump
may become inoperable. If the brake vacuum
pump fails, this may result in a sudden loss of
braking assist, and increased stopping
distances, which can increase the risk of a
crash.
Notification letters are being mailed on
January 7, 2020 to owners of vehicles
affected by recall SR-19-002 “i-MiEV Brake
Vacuum Pump,” requesting they contact their
local Authorized Mitsubishi dealership to
schedule an appointment to have this recall
performed. Sample copies of the letters are
included in the Recall Bulletin for your
reference.
Affected new vehicle inventory VINs can be
reviewed on the Mitsubishi Dealer Link in the
Most Recent: Open Campaign List available
under the service section of “e-reports.”
Dealers
must
review
the
Warranty
Superscreen to confirm if any vehicles in their
new or used vehicle inventories are affected,
and conduct this campaign prior to delivering
them. When checking for applicability of this
campaign (C1902R), please check for and
complete any other open campaigns. Always
obtain the customer's approval before
completing a campaign on a customer owned
vehicle.”

IMPORTANT
Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be
repaired before the vehicle is sold/delivered. Dealers
must check their inventory vehicles' VINs on the
Warranty Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle
is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation of
Federal law for a dealer to sell/deliver a new motor
vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle
equipment (including a tire) covered by the
notification under a sale or lease until the defect or
noncompliance is remedied.
