- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2020216

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, road salt can corrode the front cross\-member \(subframe\). As a result, a lower control arm could eventually detach from the cross\-member. This could cause a loss of vehicle control.

Safety Risk:

A loss of control can create the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front cross\-member \(subframe\). If no significant corrosion is found, the dealer will spray a sealing and anti\-corrosion coating both inside and on the cross\-member. If significant corrosion is found, the dealer will replace the cross\-member.
