The affected vehicles were manufactured from Dec. 2, 2011, through Sept. 7, 2012 (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb), and have a brake system vacuum pump that could fail. This could cause the brakes to fail, increasing the risk of an accident. According to Mitsubishi, no related accidents have been reported.

Mitsubishi has not yet provided an owner notification schedule due to parts availability, but dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts for free. Owners can call Mitsubishi at 888-648-7820 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
