NHTSA recall 06V334000
Structure · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the metal forming part of the front crossmember may have been improperly stamped resulting in the metal becoming thinner in the cross-section than specified. This could, over time, result in breakage of the crossmember.
Why it matters: Breakage of the crossmember may allow separation of the passenger side lower control arm, which may result in the loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the crossmember free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2006.
