2001 Mitsubishi Caribbean Eclipse & 2001 Mitsubishi Caribbean Galant recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The harness for the crankshaft position sensor could come in contact with a new protective shield causing a grounded circuit.

💥 The risk

Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield will cause the wiring insulation to wear and eventually to ground out. This could cause the engine to die-out, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will re-route the crankshaft position sensor harness.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
