Newest first. Summaries are NHTSA’s own wording.
- NHTSA 10V065000Feb 25, 2010Fuel System108,147 vehicles
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 endeavor vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, and washington d.c. Cold states include north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma, colorado, wyoming, montana, idaho, washington, oregon, and utah. Adjoining states include arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina. In severe corrosive environments where road salts are frequently used in winter vehicles may be exposed to road debris (mud) mixed with road salt. This material can become trapped between a reinforcing bracket and the fuel filler pipe, potentially causing corrosion. Over time, corrosion could create a leak in the fuel filler pipe that could result in a fuel leakage when fueling the vehicle.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe with a new improved part free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 5, 2010. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
- NHTSA 08V454000Sep 9, 2008Fuel System45,988 vehicles
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Mitsubishi is recalling 45,988 my 2005-2007 endeavor, galant, eclipse coupe, and my 2007 eclipse spyder vehicles. The bracket that is the attachment point for the left rear fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed during a metal stamping process. The process may have caused the metal to have a split in the area where the bolt that holds one of the two fuel tank straps to the underside of the vehicle is located. In the event the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is subject to a severe collision, the bracket may break and allow the fuel tank to drop down, possibly causing a fuel leak.
Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect to see if the left rear fuel tank strap mounting bracket has splitting beyond a specific limit. Vehicles with moderate to severe splitting will be repaired using a reinforcement cap, a special structural adhesive, and a rivet to reinforce the fuel tank mounting bracket. The recall began on september 20, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
- NHTSA 08V139000Mar 26, 2008Electrical System116,600 vehicles
Electrical system:ignition
Mitsubishi is recalling 120,000 my 2004-2006 endeavor passenger vehicles. During vehicle use, the ignition key interlock cable (which is a component of the interlock system) may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism is not in the park position.
Risk: If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and correct these vehicles for the reported condition. The recall will begin on july 7, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
- NHTSA 06V068000Mar 9, 2006Brakes4,359 vehicles
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper
On certain sport utility vehicles, the material used to manufacture the front disc brake calipers may be brittle due to improper metallurgy.
Risk: This could cause fracture of the brake caliper and subsequent unexpected partial loss of braking force, which could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper if necessary free of charge. The recall began on april 10, 2006. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
- NHTSA 05V409000Sep 15, 2005Brakes2,901 vehicles
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, the brake master cylinder, which controls the fluid pressure to the vehicle's brakes, may allow brake fluid to bypass internally during stopping.
Risk: This may result in a partial loss of braking, increased stopping distances, and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. The recall began on october 3, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
- NHTSA 05V069000Mar 2, 2005Brakes65,436 vehicles
Parking brake
On certain sport utility vehicles, the parking brake pedal cable lock nut may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification. The lock nut may loosen and come off, which will reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake.
Risk: This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not placed into the "park" position and the vehicle is parked on a slope, thus raising the possibility of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake cable lock nut, if necessary free of charge. The recall began february 24, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-5500.
