- Mitsubishi has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2009 Lancer and Lancer Evolution 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 District of Columbia. They stated that in areas where heavy road salt is used in the Winter, a long term exposure to a mixture of melted snow with salt thrown up by other vehicles on the road may cause a water-salt mixture to adhere to the front impact sensors.
This coating over time may cause corrosion or the sensor. In the event of a vehicle crash of the type that would deploy the airbags, this type of short circuit may cause a delay in the deployment of the airbags which could result in driver or passenger injury. Dealers will install new front airbag sensors that have improved corrosion resistance. This service will be preformed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before November 27, 2009. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service relations department at 1-888-648-7820.
