NHTSA recall 00V237000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Cracks can occur in the top of the fuel tank due to an improper spot weld on the baffle plate to the top portion of the fuel tank.
Why it matters: A crack in the fuel tank could allow fuel or fumes to escape. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the upper surface of the fuel tank for any signs of cracking. If no cracking or leaking is found, dealers will install a sealing protector plate. If any cracking or leakage is found, dealers will replace the fuel tank assembly.
