Recall Alert: 2010 Mitsubishi Galant

Galant
Mitsubishi has issued a recall of 2,307 Galant vehicles from the 2010 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall is due to insufficient plating on the automatic transmission oil cooler pipe assembly, which may lead to corrosion. If the pipe develops a hole, transmission fluid could leak, creating a potential fire hazard if there is an ignition source.

Dealers will inspect the aft oil cooler pipe assembly and replace it if they find it has insufficient plating to prevent corrosion. This service will be free.

Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 800-222-0037 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hot line at 888-327-4236.

well this is quite embarassing for a big brand like mitsubishi. if i am not wrong they had another recall in some other model as well. this has become a regular thing now.

They still make these? I guess as 2,300 units, you probably don't see them around that often. All I can say is that these 2,307 people deserve this recall because who buys this over all the new models out there? Hell, even some used cars blow the doors off this.
