The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, the material used to manufacture the front disc brake calipers May be brittle due to improper metallurgy.
The risk
This could cause fracture of the brake caliper and subsequent unexpected partial loss of braking force, which could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper if necessary free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2006. Owners May contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
