Manufactured:
03/29/2005 - 05/22/2005
Affected:
1,151
Defect:
Certain passenger vehicles may have been fitted with a defective brake booster assembly.
Consequence:
The booster body could separate due to improper crimp joints, resulting in a total loss of brake system performance, which could result in a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and repair the brake booster assembly free of charge. owners were notified by telephone on may 24, 2005, to stop driving their vehicles and arrangements were made for a loaner vehicle. owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
Notes:

Campaign:
05V299000 on 06/27/2005
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
Manufactured:
03/29/2005 - 06/09/2005
Affected:
3,760
Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles, one of four seals inside the master cylinder may have been installed improperly. as a result, the master cylinder may unexpectedly by-pass hydraulic braking force pressure and allow a longer than normal pedal stroke.
Consequence:
Should this condition occur, the braking distance required to stop the vehicle may increase and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the master cylinder assembly free of charge. the recall began june 28, 2005. owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
Notes:
Mitsubishi recall no. sr-05-003.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
08V454000 on 09/08/2008
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:
03/16/2005 - 02/27/2007
Affected:
45,988
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:
Mitsubishi recall no. sr-08-005.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Campaign:
15V337000 on 06/01/2015
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module
Manufactured:
04/19/2005 - 02/12/2009
Affected:
74,836
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:
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.
