Mitsubishi lift gate support outer tube on the affected vehicles may have insufficient anti-corrosion treatment that can allow the outer tube to corrode due to salt and water penetration.
The short version
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the hatchback/liftgate hinge and attachments. Here is what owners need to know.
The lift gate support outer tube on the affected vehicles may have insufficient anti-corrosion treatment that can allow the outer tube to corrode due to salt and water penetration.
If the outer tube corrodes, there may be a rapid loss of the gas used to provide lift assistance, causing the lift gate to fall suddenly, increasing the risk of injury.
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lift gate supports, free of charge.
