2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor

Certain vehicles, operated in areas where road salts are frequently used in winter, 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 fuel leakage when fueling the vehicle. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe of vehicles equipped with the first-generation version. Vehicles assembled with the second-generation filler pipe will be inspected and, if severe corrosion on the fuel filler pipe is observed, the pipe will be replaced with a third-generation version. For vehicles where corrosion of the fuel filler pipe is not observed, an anti-corrosion wax-like material will be applied to the filler pipe, and the inner wheel well shield will be replaced with an updated part that provides improved protection against mud intrusion and accumulation. ** Note: This recall supersedes recall 2010050.**

On certain vehicles, the ignition key interlock cable may allow the interlocking cam to fall forward and allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition when the gearshift mechanism is not in the PARK position. If the driver does not shift to PARK before removing the key, and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur. This could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
