MARCH 2009 --
Mitsubishi is recalling 39,711 MY
2008-2009 Outlander and Lancer vehicles.
Incorrect material composition of the brake
booster check valve may cause the check
valve to stick closed when the engine is
shut off. When the vehicle is re-started and
put into motion, under certain driving
conditions (very slow vehicle maneuvers),
there may be insufficient initial braking
assist. This may temporarily increase the
stopping distance of the vehicle and
therefore increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the brake booster check
valve free of charge. The recall is expected
to begin during April 2009. Owners may
contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
