Product
Passenger cars - Brake booster check valve
Brand
Mitsubishi (86 alerts)
Brand as notified
MITSUBISHI
Type / model
Outlander, Lancer
Description
The recall concerns models CW5W, CX3A, CX4A, CY2A, CY3A, CY4A. (A/T, SST, CVT) produced before December 2008. Note: due to different brake booster characteristics, no vehicles with manual transmission are involved.
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to a brake booster check valve failure, the first time the brake pedal is pressed after parking the vehicle for several hours, the operating force has to be increased (no brake assistance). Initially, it is difficult to press down the brake pedal while driving slowly (e.g. manoeuvring the vehicle), but the brake pedal then returns to normal.
Measures
