Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic > Foundation Components > Master Cylinder
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Description:
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, the brake master cylinder, which controls the fluid pressure to the vehicle's brakes, may allow brake fluid to bypass internally during stopping.
Consequencs:
This may result in a partial loss of braking, increased stopping distances, and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Notes:
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. the recall began on october 3, 2005. owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.

Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic > Foundation Components > Disc > Caliper
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Description:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the material used to manufacture the front disc brake calipers may be brittle due to improper metallurgy.
Consequencs:
This could cause fracture of the brake caliper and subsequent unexpected partial loss of braking force, which could result in a vehicle crash.
Notes:
Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper if necessary free of charge. the recall began on april 10, 2006. owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.

Component: Fuel System, Gasoline > Storage > Tank Assembly
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
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.
Consequencs:
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Notes:
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.
