What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes, the brake master cylinder, which controls the fluid pressure to the vehicle's brakes, may allow brake fluid to bypass internally during stopping.
The risk
This may result in a partial loss of braking, increased stopping distances, and could lead to a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. The recall began on october 3, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-[removed].
