Mitsubishi has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2009 Lancer Evolution, Ralliart, and Sportback Ralliart vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. They stated the manner in which the fuel return pipe is attached to the engine, in combination with the frequent vehicle operation at certain engine revolutions, may result in a resonance that, if continued over time, may cause a stress crack to develop at the fixed portion of the fuel pipe.
If this stress crack develops, fuel leakage may occur. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. The fuel return pipe will be replaced with a new part and two additional attachment brackets will be installed to better control fuel pipe vibration. This service will be preformed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before September 29, 2009. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
