The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has 4 recalls, the most serious being a clutch master cylinder that can fail and leave the driver unable to shift gears or disengage the clutch, creating a risk of unintended vehicle movement, extended stopping distances, and stalling.
A separate but equally urgent concern involves the fuel return pipe, which can develop stress cracks and allow raw fuel to leak from the system. Because fuel leaking near hot engine components or an ignition source can ignite, this raises a real fire risk. There is also a label recall involving the French-language tire pressure sticker, where the spare tire specification may display an incorrect tire code, potentially leading an owner to inflate the spare to the wrong pressure.
