Year: 2004

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 03V442000

Component: fuel system, gasoline, delivery, fuel pump

Potential Number Of Units Affected: 6,544

Summary: On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel return line hose fitting on the electric fuel pump may be restricted, causing excessive fuel pressure to build up in the fuel injection system. Excessive fuel pressure may result in the fuel return hose becoming dislodged, resulting in fuel leakage.

Consequence: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel pump pressure. Those vehicles exhibiting higher than normal fuel pump pressure will receive fuel pump modifications. Owner notification is expected to begin during November 2003. Owners should contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037 or Mitsubishi Caribbean at 1-800-981-0452.

Notes: Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administrations auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Important Note Regarding Auto Recalls: Frequently this site will list auto recalls before your dealer will know about them.
