The 1992 Mitsubishi Montero has 3 recalls, the most serious involving front brake hoses that can crack during sharp turns with full suspension travel, leaking brake fluid and reducing stopping power.
On the engine side, vehicles equipped with the 3.0L engine have a recall involving the crankshaft pulley bolt, which can work loose and allow the pulley to fall off. When that happens, the power steering belt loses drive and the steering wheel becomes significantly harder to turn.
