2004–2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor recall: fuel system

⚠️ What's wrong

Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 Endeavor vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, and washington d.c. Cold states include north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma, colorado, wyoming, montana, idaho, washington, oregon, and utah. Adjoining states include arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina. In severe corrosive environments where road salts are frequently used in winter vehicles may be exposed to road debris (mud) mixed with road salt. This material CAN become trapped between a reinforcing bracket and the fuel filler pipe, potentially causing corrosion. Over time, corrosion could create a leak in the fuel filler pipe that could result in a fuel leakage when fueling the vehicle.

💥 The risk

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe with a new improved part free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 5, 2010. 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.)
