Recall Alert: 2014-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Ralliart
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,500 model-year 2014-15 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sedans manufactured between Jan. 31 and Sept. 5, 2014, and model-year 2014-15 Lancer Ralliart sedans manufactured between Feb. 3 and Sept. 5, 2014
The Problem: The turbocharged vehicles’ right parking brake cable may contact the fuel tank and wear away the tank’s protective coating, causing the tank to rust and leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the right parking brake cable and inspect the fuel tank; if the tank’s exterior coating shows signs of damage from abrasive contact with the right parking brake cable, the fuel tank will be replaced for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mitsubishi has not yet provided an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 888-648-7820 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
