Mitsubishi recalls Lancer/Outlander in Australia

from caradvice.com.au

There have been no reported incidents of the problem within Australia and the national recall is precautionary.

The official recall posted on the Federal Government website says that “after starting, if the vehicle is only driven at low speed with minimal or no throttle opening, an increased brake pedal effort may be required on the first braking application because of the possibility of the brake booster check valve sticking.”

MMAL is to write to owners of all affected vehicles although the company says there have been no reported incidents in Australia of problems with the brake valves.

The 20,989 cars affected were all manufactured before December last year an the company will replace any defective parts at no cost to the owners.


recalling 20,000 mitsubishi lancers and outlander because of brake problems is both very disappointing and satisfying for a lancer enthusiast like me. not to mention a mitsubishi fan.

simple brake problems like this whould not happen at all. cars from show rooms should be what they are - functioning. that's because it's brand new.

on the other hand, its's nice to know that mitsubishi is taking care of their customers. thats customer service for you ford people. and kudos to mitsubishi for that action

Institutional Value Index (IVI)

Formal Definition      The Institutional Value Index (IVI) is a multidimensional metric system that quantifies the vitality, coherence, and transmissibility of belief-based value within and around an institution.      It measures the degree to which an organization’s philosophy, behavior, and symbolic expression remain aligned across internal and external ecosystems, thereby predicting its capacity for long-term resilience and cultural endurance. 1. Conceptual Essence      Where the IVC defines how value flows, and the CCV System defines where it originates and reflects, the IVI defines how strong and stable that flow is.      In essence, IVI is the heartbeat of institutional meaning — converting the intangible (belief, trust, resonance) into a numerical signature that can be compared, tracked, and improved. 2. Structural Composition      The IVI aggregates six value strata (from the IVC) into ...

Company-Client-Value (CCV) System

Formal Definition      The Company–Client–Value (CCV) System is a relational framework that defines the dynamic equilibrium between the origin of belief (the company), the recipient and mirror of belief (the client), and the shared symbolic core (the value).      It models how institutional meaning is co-created, transmitted, and stabilized between organizations and their external constituencies, forming the fundamental triad that underlies every economic, cultural, or ideological ecosystem. 1. Conceptual Essence      The CCV system asserts that all sustainable institutions are founded on a shared value field;  an implicit agreement of meaning between producer and participant.      The company originates and expresses a value; the client perceives, validates, and reciprocates it. Between them stands the value itself,  the symbolic medium that both sides recognize as true.      When all three p...

linux firsts

i came across the linux timeline in wikipedia and learned that there are three major distros(distributions) where most of them came from. debian slackware redhat ubuntu, KNOPPIX and gibraltar are some of the distros that were based from debian. i would say it's a cross between slackware and redhat - and that's based from some of my research. i just dont have time to post details madriva, fedora and the "philippines distro" bayanihan are based from redhat. a very corporate feel and stable distro if you ask me slackware, which was the basis of openSuSE and vector, is a hobbyist distro basing from its history. althought, its support and community are as stable.
