Insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the cross member brace in some 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Lancer Ralliart cars will have owners returning to their nearest dealership for repairs. Contact between the two parts could cause the power steering pressure tube to rust and develop leaks, resulting in increased steering effort and the possibility of a fire.
Owners of the affected vehicles are being notified to bring their vehicle in for inspection. If the vehicle has insufficient clearance, the power steering tube assembly will be replaced, free of charge. For more information about the problem contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi’s number for this recall is SR-14-004 and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-281.
