NHTSA recall 08V094000
Seats · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: For vehicles without an electric power seat, the floor harness connector for the power seat is placed directly on the floorboard underneath the carpeting (vehicles with power seats already have the harness elevated). If a vehicle occupant enters the vehicle with a sufficient amount of snow on their feet containing road salt, it is possible for the melted snow mixture to soak the carpet and allow the salt-water…
Why it matters: The connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector and may result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will relocate the floor harness from beneath both the passenger and driver seats to above the carpet and away from the bottom of the floorboard to prevent contact with any future melt solution. The recall began on April 7, 2008.
