The problem
Certain passenger vehicles May have been fitted with a defective brake booster assembly.
The risk
The booster body could separate due to improper crimp joints, resulting in a total loss of brake system performance, which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair the brake booster assembly free of charge. Owners were notified by telephone on May 24, 2005, to stop driving their vehicles and arrangements were made for a loaner vehicle. Owners May contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
