NHTSA recall 94V080000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The vehicles failed the lateral moving barrier impact test requirements of fmvss 301, "fuel system integrity." The fuel leakage from the gas tank exceeded the maximum allowable amount of spillage.
Why it matters: In the event of an accident, the fuel spillage can result in a fire if exposed to a source of ignition.
The fix: Mitsubishi has developed an appropriate countermeasure that will comply with all requirements of fmvss 301.
