1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max — 2.0L

The 1989 Mighty Max’s federal record is not included in the year‑by‑year dataset, which begins with 1990, but the available complaint summary shows only two reported issues — one seat‑belt and one structural complaint — with zero crash or fire incidents. In contrast, the 1990‑1996 model years display a clear upward trend in complaint volume (7‑11 annually) and a sharp rise in technical service bulletins (from 5 to 19), while recalls remain low (0‑1 per year) and investigations are absent throughout. This places the 1989 model at the low‑end of the generation’s reported problem arc, suggesting it may have experienced fewer early‑life defects than later iterations. However, the missing 1989 recall, investigation, and TSB counts prevent a complete safety assessment. Based on the available data, the 1989 appears to be a comparatively low‑complaint entry point for this generation, but buyers should confirm all recall work is documented before purchasing.
