Hi team,

I was very surprised to receive a recall notice about the 12V battery in my car.

What are the defects?
The 12 volt AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery located in the rear of the luggage compartment may have been replaced prior to/or after sale, with a non-AGM battery supplied by Mitsubishi Motors Australia. A non-AGM battery is more likely to release hydrogen sulphide gas in the event of battery failure and if the vehicle is involved in a collision there is the potential that acid could leak.

This recall may also be a sobering note for owners who have opted to install a cheap and cheerful battery themselves...
