Mitsubishi has launched two separate safety campaigns affecting certain Lancer and Outlander vehicles manufactured between 2009-2011.
Safety Campaign 15V-232 (SR-15-002): An inappropriate manufacturing process of certain electrical parts within the ETACS ECU may result in a high electrical resistance and unstable voltage within the system. Loss of headlights, windshield wipers, and tail lights could result, reducing drivers visibility, and increasing the risk of an accident. Drivers will be warned of an ETACS malfunction through an illuminating engine and/or brake warning lamp.
Safety Campaign 15V-233 (SR-15-003): Due to an inappropriate manufacturing process of the blower motor, the shaft and bearing inside the motor may wear prematurely. Continued use of the blower motor over time will result in increased noise and reduced blower performance. Eventually, the shaft and bearing could seize resulting in total loss of the blower and reduce driver visibility.
Owners wanting more information about either recall are asked to contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820.
