DEFECT #3 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 2008-09-09
Description
Mitsubishi is recalling 45,988 my 2005-2007 endeavor, galant, eclipse coupe, and my 2007 eclipse spyder vehicles. The bracket that is the attachment point for the left rear fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed during a metal stamping process. The process may have caused the metal to have a split in the area where the bolt that holds one of the two fuel tank straps to the underside of the vehicle is located. In the event the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is subject to a severe collision, the bracket may break and allow the fuel tank to drop down, possibly causing a fuel leak.
Consequence
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect to see if the left rear fuel tank strap mounting bracket has splitting beyond a specific limit. Vehicles with moderate to severe splitting will be repaired using a reinforcement cap, a special structural adhesive, and a rivet to reinforce the fuel tank mounting bracket. The recall began on september 20, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.

DEFECT #4 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
Posted on: 2015-06-02
Description
Mitsubishi motors north america, inc. (mmna) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 eclipse vehicles manufactured april 20, 2005, to february 13, 2009, and 2007-2009 eclipse spyder vehicles manufactured december 23, 2005, to february 13, 2009. Due to corrosion inside the antil-lock brake system (abs) unit, one or more of the internal valves may seize. In a braking event that uses the abs, a seized valve would increase brake pedal travel and reduce braking ability.
Consequence
A sudden reduction of braking performance may increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Mmna will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, flush and clean the abs hydraulic unit using high grade brake fluid, free of charge. If the inspection shows that the valves may seize, the abs unit will be replaced. The recall began on july 21, 2015. Owners may contact mmna customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mmna's number for this recall is sr-15-004.
