The Problem: The drive belt automatic tensioner may crack and detach, which will cause the battery to discharge and the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. 

The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the belt tensioner, as necessary, for free. 

What Owners Should Do: Mitsubishi will begin notifying owners March 27. Owners can call the automaker at 888-648-7820, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
