The problem
Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 endeavor with manual air conditioning. Due to an incorrect heater (hvac) controller signal, the air flow from the air vents may randomly change direction and/or the temperature may briefly cycle between hot and cold.
The risk
This condition could affect defroster performance, resulting in poor windshield visibility and potentially cause a crash.

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.

Seat belts: front

NHTSA campaign 08V022000 · reported January 18, 2008 · MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 7,340 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the right side lower seat belt anchor may separate during a severe vehicle crash.
The risk
Breakage of the mounting bracket in a severe crash could allow the seat belt to not properly restrain the passenger and potentially result in injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front passenger side seat belt and bracket assembly free of charge. The recall began on march 17, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
