2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse recalls
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/module
NHTSA campaign 15V337000 · reported June 2, 2015 · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. · 74,836 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- A sudden reduction of braking performance may increase the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- 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.
Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly
NHTSA campaign 08V454000 · reported September 9, 2008 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 45,988 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
- The fix
- 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.
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components, master cylinder
NHTSA campaign 05V299000 · reported June 27, 2005 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 3,760 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- Should this condition occur, the braking distance required to stop the vehicle may increase and could lead to a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- 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.
Service brakes, hydraulic
NHTSA campaign 05V247000 · reported June 2, 2005 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 1,151 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Certain passenger vehicles may have been fitted with a defective brake booster assembly.
- The risk
- 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.
- The fix
- 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.
