Mitsubishi Recalls Lancer Evolution, Ralliart and Sportback Ralliart
If you own a turbocharged Lancer, your next trip may be to the dealership for a new fuel pipe. Mitsubishi has recalled 6,903 turbocharged Lancer Evolution, Ralliart and Sportback Ralliart vehicles made in model years 2008 and 2009. According to NHTSA, these vehicles may develop vibration-related stress cracks in their fuel pipes. A crack could cause fuel leakage, which in turn has the potential to cause a fire.
Mitsubishi will replace the fuel pipe free of charge, and will also install two additional brackets to better manage fuel-pipe vibration. The recall is set to begin on or before September 29, 2009. For more information, owners may visit SaferCar.gov, or contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-327-4236.
