What are the defects?
Failure of the anti-rust coating (Fluorine) may allow rust to form on the parking brake shaft. As a result, the parking brake shaft may become stuck and may not engage.
What are the hazards?
If the parking brake shaft does not engage when the user shifts into a Park position, this could result in unintended vehicle movement. This may increase the risk of an accident, which may result in an injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders.
What should consumers do?
Mitsubishi Motors Australia will contact all known owners by mail, advising them to present their vehicle to their preferred Mitsubishi dealer for inspection and repair, free of charge.
