What happened

Mitsubishi Motors is recalling certain 2008-2011 Lancer, Lancer Evolution, and Outlander vehicles, as well as 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and Ralliart models, and 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles equipped with 4B1 engines. The engine pulleys in these vehicles may experience unusual wear, which can cause the drive belt to detach. If the belt detaches, the battery may discharge and cause the engine to stall, increasing the crash risk.

Mitsubishi will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will replace the drive belt with a rubber belt and replace any excessively worn drive pulleys, all at no cost. The recall began on October 15, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 to arrange service, referencing recall number SR-14-009.
