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

Contextual Stratification, Basilides, and the Shape of an Accurate Religion

Contextual Stratification quietly intersects with an unlikely figure: Basilides, the 2nd-century Gnostic often dismissed as obscure or overly metaphysical. Strip away the mythic language, and what remains is a sharp structural insight: reality is layered, and most human error comes from collapsing those layers into one. Basilides’ most radical idea was the Unknowable God—not a supreme ruler issuing commands, but a source beyond being, intention, or description. This god does nothing, says nothing, demands nothing. That sounds paradoxical until viewed through Contextual Stratification. Structurally, the Unknowable God maps cleanly onto the apex stratum: the highest layer that is necessary for grounding reality yet irrelevant for operation within it. Irrelevant here does not mean useless. It means non-operational. The apex stratum cannot be invoked to explain events, justify rules, or resolve disputes. It exists to mark a boundary—the point beyond which explanation, morality, and causati...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 12: No Floor

The Search for the Bottom Throughout history, humans have searched for the ground floor of reality, the most fundamental level from which everything else emerges. The ancient Greeks proposed atoms: indivisible particles that couldn't be broken down further. Two thousand years later, we discovered atoms could be split, revealing electrons, protons, and neutrons. Surely these were fundamental? Then we found that protons and neutrons contained quarks. Perhaps quarks are fundamental? String theory suggests they might be vibrations of one-dimensional strings. Perhaps strings are fundamental? Some theories propose even strings are composed of more basic structures; branes, loops, or mathematical objects we don't yet have names for. Each generation believes it has reached the bottom, only to discover deeper structure. This could be a temporary state, we just haven't dug deep enough yet. Eventually we'll hit the truly fundamental level, and the digging will stop. Or it could be...

Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles

Here’s a draft of the Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles. ATS Core Values Adaptability Over Rigidity - ATS prioritizes flexible route adjustments and dynamic scheduling based on real-time demand rather than fixed, inefficient routes. Availability Over Scarcity - There should always be an ATS unit available when and where it's needed, reducing wait times and ensuring continuous service. Efficiency Over Redundancy - Every unit must maximize passenger load without compromising speed and convenience, ensuring an optimal balance of utilization. Simplicity Over Complexity - Operations should be straightforward, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy and ensuring seamless passenger movement. Continuous Improvement Over Static Systems - ATS evolves based on data and feedback, refining operations to enhance reliability and customer satisfaction. Customer Experience Over Just Transportation - The system is not just about moving people; it's about making their journe...
