NHTSA recall 08V139000
Electrical System · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: During vehicle use, the ignition key interlock cable (which is a component of the interlock system) may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism is not in the park position.
Why it matters: If the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and correct these vehicles for the reported condition. The recall will begin on July 7, 2008.
