The 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has 2 recalls, the most serious being a front lower control arm that can detach from the suspension and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The second recall involves an error on the certification label, where the listed gross vehicle weight and gross axle weight ratings are incorrect. Relying on those figures to load the vehicle can lead to overloading, which puts excess stress on the tires and degrades braking and handling.
