UK RECALL #21 - MITSUBISHI - Shogun BK, SWB & LWB recalled for possible engine stalling.

Vehicle Details
Reference :R/2015/003
Manufacturer Ref :R3027210, R3027230, R3027231 
Make:MITSUBISHI
Model :Shogun BK (V88W = SWB, V98W = LWB)
Launch Date :11/02/2015
Numbers Involved :2846
Build Start Date :11/09/2010
Build End Date :05/12/2013 
Recall Details
Concern :ENGINE MAY STALL
Description :Due to a fault in the engine ECU software it is possible that the 4M41 engines in the Shogun will not learn the variations or age deterioration in injectors and be able to adjust the amount of fuel being injection accordingly. This inability to learn these values correctly can result in the engine emits an excessive amount of soot to the DPF, which can block it. This can result in the engine stalling and not being able to restart.
Remedial Action :Recall all affected vehicles and reprogramme engine ECU software.
