The short version

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the hydraulic power assist hose, piping, and connections. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the crossmember brace.

WHY IT MATTERS

Due to abrasion and rust, a hole may develop in the power steering tube, allowing the fluid to leak out, resulting in added steering effort, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaking fluid increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source such as a hot engine or exhaust component.

WHAT TO DO

Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power steering tube for sufficient clearance, free of charge.
