The Problem: The blower motor may fail, which could reduce the performance of the windshield defroster and diminish the driver’s visibility. This increases the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the blower motor for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mitsubishi has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Mitsubishi at 888-648-7820 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
