Lower Control Arm May Detach Due to Corrosion

A detached front control arm can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V279

Manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

Components SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE

Potential Number of Units Affected 141,200

 

Summary

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2008-2010 Lancer, 2010 Lancer Sportback, 2008-2013 Outlander, and 2011-2016 Outlander Sport vehicles originally sold in, or ever registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The front lower control arms may detach due to the front cross member corroding from salt water exposure such as from road salt use.

 

Remedy

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front cross members. Depending on the level of existing corrosion, either a sealing/anti-corrosion agent will be applied or the front cross member will be replaced with a new one. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began August 7, 2020. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-20-003.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

SUBJECT:

CROSSMEMBER CORROSION - SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN

No: SR-20-003REV_1
DATE: July 2020
MODEL: SEE BELOW

 

This bulletin supersedes SR-20-003, issued July 2020; changes include:

  • Direction added under Required Tools, Equipment and Materials for dealers that do not already have the Spray Gun, Regulator, or Anti-Corrosion agents (Page 2)
  • Important statement added to request that the Anti-Corrosion Agent be inspected for proper consistency, prior to use (Page 3)
  • Added 2011 - 2012 Outlander Sport / RVR to the Warranty section (Page 31)
  • Clarification to the scenarios:  anti-corrosion agents are not to be applied in the event of a Crossmember replacement (Page 32)
  • Two Customer Letters are attached:  Interim Customer Letter (Page 34) and Revised Final Customer Letter (Page 35)

 

PURPOSE

This bulletin provides directions for inspection and repair of affected vehicles' Crossmembers.

 

BACKGROUND

The inside and outside surfaces of the Front Crossmembers used on certain vehicles, if exposed long term to snow melt water and anti-freezing agents, may corrode due to insufficient performance of the rust protection. Should significant corrosion occur over time, a lower control arm could eventually become detached resulting in loss of vehicle control and a potential collision.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2008 – 2010 Lancer*
2009 - 2010 Lancer Sportback*
2008 -2013 Outlander*

*Currently or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C.

 

IMPORTANT

Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is delivered.  Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign.  It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.

NOTE: If you encounter a vehicle which has excessive Crossmember corrosion, but is not covered under this campaign (i.e., never registered in a salt belt state), contact your DPSM for further directions.

How long will it take? The time needed for inspection and application of anti-corrosion agents is approximately 1.5 hrs. If perforation(s) are found during the inspection, the repair could take up to 4 hrs. The dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time, but every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience.

PURPOSE

A recall campaign was released on July 22, 2020 (SR-20-003) for the Crossmember Corrosion.

On July 31, 2020 the recall campaign was revised to clarify the repair procedures.  Parts are now available and a Final Notification letter was mailed on August 7, 2020 to owners affected by the recall.  It was requested that owners contact their local Authorized Mitsubishi dealership and schedule an appointment to have the recall performed.

 

The inside and outside surfaces of the Front Crossmembers used on certain vehicles, if exposed long term to snow melt water and anti-freezing agents, may corrode due to insufficient performance of the rust protection. Should significant corrosion occur over time, a lower control arm could eventually become detached resulting in loss of vehicle control and a potential collision.

An Interim Notification letter was mailed to affected owners on July 17, 2020. The letter informed customers that MMNA is making every effort to establish a remedy and will contact them again by mail with a follow-up recall notice once parts are in stock and the final remedy is available.

Affected new vehicle inventory VINs can be reviewed on the Mitsubishi Dealer Link in the Most Recent: Open Campaign List available under the service section of “e-reports.” Dealers must review the Warranty Superscreen to confirm if any vehicles in their new or used vehicle inventories are affected, and conduct this campaign prior to delivering them. When checking for applicability of this campaign, please check for and complete any other open campaigns. Always obtain the customer’s approval before completing a campaign on a customer owned vehicle.

RE: Crossmember - Safety Recall Campaign --- UPDATED INFORMATION
ATIN NO. ATIN-20-SR-003D

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES 

Certain 2008 – 2010 Lancer, 2009 - 2010 Lancer Sportback, 2008 - 2013 Outlander,  and 2011 – 2016 Outlander Sport RVR vehicles

 

PURPOSE

This ATIN-20-SR-003D supersedes ATIN-20-SR-003C and ATIN-20-SR-003B, providing notification of modifications to the TSB and repair procedure.

The work procedure Recall Bulletin SR-20-003 has been revised to SR-20-003REV. The repair procedure has been updated, noting when a Crossmember replacement is required the Anti-Corrosive Agent application IS NOT REQUIRED. This updated bulletin is currently available on MEDIC and MDL.

 

All the following information has been previously provided in the preceding ATIN’s.

On May 18, 2020, MMNA submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) a Defect Information Report regarding Crossmembers installed in certain affected vehicles listed above;  currently or ever registered in a salt belt state: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C.

The inside and outside surfaces of the front crossmember used on certain vehicles, if exposed long term to snow melt, water, and anti-freezing agents, may corrode due to insufficient performance of the rust protection. Should significant corrosion occur over time, a lower control arm could eventually become detached from a Crossmember resulting in loss of vehicle control and a potential collision.

The following action will be taken at no charge to the customer:

  • If no significant corrosion is identified, a sealing/anti-corrosion agent will be sprayed inside/outside the Crossmember.
  • If significant corrosion is identified, the Crossmember will be replaced with a countermeasure Crossmember.

If you encounter a vehicle which has excessive cross member corrosion, but is not covered under this campaign (i.e., never registered in a salt belt state), contact your DPSM for further directions.

Owners seeking reimbursement for any expenses associated with this recall will be directed in the notification letter to contact the Mitsubishi Customer Relations Department for instructions on how to apply for a refund.

Dealers must review the Warranty Superscreen to confirm if any vehicles in their new or used vehicle inventories are affected and conduct this campaign prior to delivering them. Always obtain the customer’s approval before completing a campaign on a customer owned vehicle.

Due to a parts availability delay of the Crossmember, customer vehicles requiring a replacement of the Crossmember are unable to be completed at this time. However, the customer’s vehicle may still be inspected and if it is found that the customer’s vehicle only requires a repair of the anti-corrosion agent, this repair may be completed. This recall campaign will remain active on the Warranty Superscreen.

Additionally, Interim Owners Notification Letters were mailed to affected owners on July 17, 2020.  The letter informed customers that MMNA is making every effort to establish a remedy and will contact them again by mail with a follow-up recall notice once parts are in stock and the final remedy is available. Included below is a sample copy of the interim owner notification letter for your information.

You will be notified again when additional updates become available. In the event you receive any direct customer inquiries regarding this issue, please refer them to the MMNA Customer Relations Hotline at (888) 648-7820. We appreciate your patience while we make the necessary preparations to launch this recall.

 

IMPORTANT

Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is sold/delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Super Screen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell/deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
