2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor & 2005 Mitsubishi Galant recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, the brake master cylinder, which controls the fluid pressure to the vehicle's brakes, may allow brake fluid to bypass internally during stopping.
💥 The risk
This may result in a partial loss of braking, increased stopping distances, and could lead to a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. The recall began on october 3, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
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.)
