Asked by Gary
I need some help as my 2014 Mitsubishi Triton has a seized motor because I missed one service at 60,000 km, and I have a 5-year warranty.
Answered by CarsGuide
11 May 2018By how far did you miss the service? Was it by a 1000 kilometres or so, or did you miss it all together? If you missed the service by a few weeks or a few kilometres then I would not expect the engine to seize, but if you skipped the service completely I’m not surprised. I’m also guessing the warranty won’t be honoured because of the missed service, but depending on the circumstances surrounding the missed service you could try and negotiate with Mitsubishi for some cover.
