NHTSA recall 01V295001
Steering · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The power steering fluid feed tube can come in contact with an exhaust manifold mounted heat shield causing a hole to be worn through the power steering pipe allowing fluid leakage.
Why it matters: Leaking power steering fluid can result in a fire and continued loss of fluid will result in a loss of power assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the power steering tube with one having a new routing. Owner notification began November 26, 2001.
