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 that the manner in which the fuel return pipe is attached to the engine, in combination with 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 in October 2009.  Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.

Mitsubishi has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2009 Outlander and Lacer vehicles.  They stated incorrect material composition of the brake booster check valve may cause the check valve to stick closed when the engine is shut off.  When the vehicle is restarted and put into motion, under certain driving conditions (very slow vehicle manuevers), there may be insufficent initial braking assist.

This may temporarily increase the stopping distance of the vehicle and therefore increase the risk of a crash.  Dealers will replace the brake booster check valve free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin during April 2009.  Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
