ELECTRICAL POWER CONTROL RELAY - SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN

SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): SR-17-005, Date of Issue: October 2017

MITSUBISHI:

2015 - 2017 Outlander; 2015 - 2016 Lancer, Outlander, 2015 Lancer Evolution

PURPOSE

This campaign bulletin instructs dealers to replace the affected electrical relay with a countermeasure one.

BACKGROUND

Due to an inappropriate maintenance procedure used on a welding machine at a relay supplier, welding of components within the relay may have been performed incorrectly resulting in improper electrical conduction. As a result, one of the following conditions may occur depending on which system is using the defective relay:

If the relay for the engine control unit fails, the engine will stall while driving and cannot be restarted.
If the relay for the engine valve lift control fails, the engine warning lamp will illuminate and failsafe mode will be activated, limiting available engine power.
If the relay for the radiator fan fails, the engine coolant temperature will rise, the coolant temperature warning lamp will illuminate, and the engine may overheat.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

2015 - 2017 Outlander vehicles built December 5, 2014 - August 24, 2016

2015 - 2016 Lancer vehicles built December 5, 2014 - March 3, 2016

IMPORTANT: Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is sold/delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles' VINs on the Warranty Super Screen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell/deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
