Mitsubishi Recalls 2010 Galant

The following information has been provided by Consumer affairs.com.

 March 8, 2010

Mitsubishi is recalling about 2,300 model-year 2010 Galants because of a problem with the automatic transmission.

The transmission oil cooler pipe assembly may have insufficient plating to prevent corrosion. If corrosion occurs, automatic transmission fluid could leak, possibly presenting a fire hazard.

Dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles and, if necessary, replace the cooler pipe with new parts when the recall begins in March 2010.

Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.

Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
