2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor recalls
Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly, filler pipe and cap
NHTSA campaign 10V065000 · reported February 25, 2010 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 108,147 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 endeavor vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, and washington d.c. Cold states include north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma, colorado, wyoming, montana, idaho, washington, oregon, and utah. Adjoining states include arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina. In severe corrosive environments where road salts are frequently used in winter vehicles may be exposed to road debris (mud) mixed with road salt. This material can become trapped between a reinforcing bracket and the fuel filler pipe, potentially causing corrosion. Over time, corrosion could create a leak in the fuel filler pipe that could result in a fuel leakage when fueling the vehicle.
- The risk
- Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe with a new improved part free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 5, 2010. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
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.
Electrical system: ignition
NHTSA campaign 08V139000 · reported March 26, 2008 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 116,600 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Mitsubishi is recalling 120,000 my 2004-2006 endeavor passenger vehicles. During vehicle use, the ignition key interlock cable (which is a component of the interlock system) may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism is not in the park position.
- The risk
- If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and correct these vehicles for the reported condition. The recall will begin on july 7, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components, disc, caliper
NHTSA campaign 06V068000 · reported March 9, 2006 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 4,359 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain sport utility vehicles, the material used to manufacture the front disc brake calipers may be brittle due to improper metallurgy.
- The risk
- This could cause fracture of the brake caliper and subsequent unexpected partial loss of braking force, which could result in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- 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.
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components, master cylinder
NHTSA campaign 05V409000 · reported September 15, 2005 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 2,901 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- This may result in a partial loss of braking, increased stopping distances, and could lead to a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. The recall began on october 3, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
Parking brake
NHTSA campaign 05V069000 · reported March 2, 2005 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 65,436 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain sport utility vehicles, the parking brake pedal cable lock nut may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification. The lock nut may loosen and come off, which will reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake.
- The risk
- This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not placed into the "park" position and the vehicle is parked on a slope, thus raising the possibility of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake cable lock nut, if necessary free of charge. The recall began february 24, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-5500.
