2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has 3 recalls, the most serious being two separate fuel tank issues where the tank's protective coating can wear away, rust through, and leak fuel, raising the risk of a fire.

The fuel tank concerns stem from two different sources of abrasion. In one case, the right parking brake cable sits too close to the tank and rubs against it over time, eventually wearing through the protective coating and allowing rust to form underneath. In the other, the same coating failure and rust-driven leak can occur without the cable contact, affecting a broader range of production dates. Both scenarios can result in raw fuel leaking from the tank. The third recall involves the power steering system: the hydraulic pressure tube runs too close to the crossmember brace, and the two surfaces can wear against each other until a hole develops in the tube. When that happens, power steering fluid drains out and the steering wheel becomes noticeably harder to turn, which can reduce the driver's ability to steer quickly in an emergency.
