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.

Power Train · at 39,000 miles · reported Oct 15, 2015
4WD system service required light came on with less than 40000 miles, this was caused by a malfunctioning acd pump. Pump is located behind the rear right side tire and is exposed to elements. Car was in new york state for 4 years and driven on snow/salted roads. Pump has corroded. This is a known problem with the ralliarts and evolutions. Dealership refuses to cover under the power train warranty, they say this is a luxury item and also becuase there were modifications made to the car. The modifications made have no impact on the corrosion of the pump.
