2000 Mitsubishi Diamante recalls
Recall 04V-428: Equipment

Recall 04V-067: Equipment
Problem: Certain sport utility and passenger vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." the owner's manual does not contain a step-by-step description for headrest adjustment when installing a child restraint system (Crs) tether strap.
Risk: If the tether strap is improperly installed to the tether anchor, the child safety seat may not be sufficient restrained. In the event of a crash, the child could be injured.

Recall 00V-132: Parking Brake
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The head of the screw that holds the retaining clip for the parking brake shoe can become brittle and break off.
Risk: If the screw head breaks off, the parking brake shoe retainer clip can become dislodged and could result in the parking brake dragging and/or failure of the parking brake to properly hold. Seizure of the parking brake shoe, especially on wet or snow covered roads, could result in lockup of one of the rear wheels.
Fix: Dealers will replace the retaining clip screw and in the process inspect the rear brake system of any possible related damage. Any related damage that may be found will also be repaired.
