## What is wrong

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(Mitsubishi\) is recalling certain model year 2009\-2010 Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles manufactured January 12, 2009, to July 6, 2010, 2009\-2010 Outlander vehicles manufactured January 12, 2009, to August 27, 2010, 2010 Lancer Sportback vehicles manufactured June 17, 2009, to June 8, 2010, and 2010 Lancer Evolution vehicles manufactured July 14, 2009, to August 4, 2010.  The affected vehicles have an electronic control unit \(ECU\) that controls the head lights, tail lights, and windshield wipers.  Due to a manufacturing error, the voltage inside this ECU may be unstable.


## What can happen

Unstable voltage could result in intermittent failure of the vehicle's head lights, tail lights, and windshield wipers.  If the headlights and/or windshield wipers fail, the driver could have reduced visibility.  If the tail lights fail, the vehicle could be less visible.  Either condition increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected ECU, free of charge.  The recall began on June 15 ,2015.  Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1\-888\-648\-7820.  Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR\-15\-002.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
