Mitsubishi recalls 2004 Endeavor, 2010 Galant

Filed under: Budget , Sedan , SUV , Recalls , Safety , Mitsubishi , Off-Road Mitsubishi is recalling both the 2004 Endeavor SUV and 2010 Galant sedan over possible corrosion issues that could cause flammable fluids to leak. The safety recall affects approximately 56,113 Endeavors and 2,307 Galants across the United States. The Endeavors in question are those that were originally sold or currently registered in states where road salt is used to clear away snow and ice in the winter. According to NHTSA, road salt, mixed with other debris, can become trapped between the Endeavor’s fuel filler pipe and a reinforcing bracket, which can cause corrosion and potentially a fuel leak

Astute carspotters will note that this isn’t the first time that the Japanese automaker has used the ‘Sport’ moniker in this capacity, attached to the name of another more expensive and well-known model in its lineup.
