DEFECT #1 - STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
Posted on: 2014-05-28
Description
Mitsubishi motors north america, inc. (mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014 lancer evolution vehicles manufactured january 31, 2014, through february 21, 2014, and 2014 lancer ralliart vehicles manufactured february 3, 2014, through february 14, 2014. The affected vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the crossmember brace.
Consequence
Due to abrasion and rust, a hole may develop in the power steering tube, allowing the fluid to leak out, resulting in added steering effort, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaking fluid increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source such as a hot engine or exhaust component.
Corrective Action
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power steering tube for sufficient clearance. If the vehicle has insufficient clearance, the power steering tube assembly will be replaced, free of charge. The manufacturer notified owners in july 2014. Owners may contact mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is sr-14-004.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
