2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart recalls

Recall 14V-562: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Sep 12, 2014 · 165,923 vehicles affected · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

Problem: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Lancer, Lancer Evolution, and Outlander; 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback, Lancer Rilliart, and Lancer Sportback Ralliart; and 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles. The affected vehicles, manufactured with 4B1 engines, have an engine pulley and belt arrangement for turning the alternator, the cooling fan and the power steering pump (if equipped). These pulleys may experience unusual wear and allow for belt detachment.

Risk: If the drive belt detaches, the battery may discharge, resulting in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the drive belt with a rubber belt. Drive pulleys that are excessively worn will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 15, 2014. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-009.

Returned the car to cortese mitsubishi where I was told that the awc pump needed to be replaced at a cost of $2100. And that it…

Power Train · at 46,000 miles · reported May 4, 2013

Had an AWD service warning light come on in the car while driving home from work in traffic. The car coded a c161e code for active center differential. It seems to come on when it is warm out above 60 degrees.
