Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2006-2009 Eclipse and 2007-2009 Eclipse Spyder vehicles because corrosion inside the antilock brake system (ABS) unit can cause internal valves to seize. When a seized valve occurs during braking, it increases the distance needed to stop the vehicle and reduces overall braking ability, which may increase the risk of a crash.
To remedy this issue, owners will be notified and dealers will inspect, flush, and clean the ABS hydraulic unit at no cost. If the inspection reveals that valves may seize, the entire ABS unit will be replaced. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mitsubishi Motors North America customer service at 1-888-648-7820 to arrange service for their vehicle.
