This filing is one of 34 Mitsubishi notifications from 2002 in this archive.

Defect
In the brake system, the design of the front brake hose and the positional relationship between the mounting bracket and the wheel cylinder are inadequate. When the brake hose is installed with a twist, the hose may contact the sidewall of the front tire during steering. Continued use in this condition can wear a hole through the hose, causing brake fluid to leak. In the worst case, braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
On standard-width vehicles, replace the brake hose, bracket, and brake pipes with corrected parts. On wide-body vehicles, replace the brake hose with a corrected part.
