- Summary
- On certain sport utility vehicles, the parking brake pedal cable lock nut may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification. The lock nut may loosen and come off, which will reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake.
- Consequence
- This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not placed into the "park" position and the vehicle is parked on a slope, thus raising the possibility of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake cable lock nut, if necessary free of charge. The recall began February 24, 2005. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-5500.

Has your Mitsubishi been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Mitsubishi dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
