The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the metal forming part of the front crossmember May have been improperly stamped resulting in the metal becoming thinner in the cross-section than specified. This could, over time, result in breakage of the crossmember.
The risk
Breakage of the crossmember May allow separation of the passenger side lower control arm, which May result in the loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the crossmember free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2006. Owners May contact Mitsubishi at 888-648-7820.
