# Service bulletin TSB\-13\-15\-001

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Due to variations in production, certain exhaust manifold mounted catalytic converters may experience catalyst layer separation on affected vehicles. If this occurs, the MIL will illuminate with DTC P0421 or P0431, "Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold" stored in the PCM. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is extending the catalytic converter warranty only on affected vehicles currently registered in certain states from 8 years / 80,000 miles to 10 years / 120,000 miles.
