What happened

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2009-2010 Lancer, Outlander, Lancer Sportback, and Lancer Evolution vehicles due to a manufacturing error in the electronic control unit that controls the headlights, tail lights, and windshield wipers. The unstable voltage in this component could cause these systems to fail intermittently, reducing driver visibility or making the vehicle less visible to other drivers, which increases the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected electronic control unit free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2015, and Mitsubishi's reference number for this recall is SR-15-002.
