The short version
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the gasoline belts and associated pulleys. Here is what owners need to know.
The drive belt automatic tensioner flange may crack, allowing the accessory drive belt to detach.
If the drive belt detaches, the battery will discharge and the engine will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
