NOVEMBER 2009 --
Mitsubishi is
recalling model year 2008-2009 Lancer and
Lancer Evolution vehicles originally sold in
or currently registered in the states of
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin
and District Of Columbia. In areas where
heavy road salt is used in the winter, a
long term exposure to a mixture of melted
snow with salt thrown up by the other
vehicles on the road may cause a water-salt
mixture to adhere to the front impact
sensors. This coating over time may cause
corrosion or the sensor. In the event of a
vehicle crash of the type that would deploy
the airbags this type of short-circuit may
cause a delay in the deployment of the
airbags which could result in driver or
passenger injury. Dealers will install new
front airbag sensors that have improved
corrosion resistance. This service will be
performed free of charge. The safety recall
began on November 27, 2009. 09V-435
