The short version

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the storage tank assembly. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected turbocharged vehicles have a right parking brake cable that may contact the fuel tank, wearing away the tank's protective coating.

WHY IT MATTERS

Without the protective coating, the fuel tank may rust and leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

WHAT TO DO

Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right parking brake cable, and inspect the fuel tank, free of charge.
