Transport Canada recall 2018588 · manufacturer campaign SR-18-009

26 October 2018

Transport Canada lists: Lancer 2008–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, water may drain from the windshield cowl area onto the front wiper link ball joint. Over time, this could result in corrosion and/or wear to the joint, which could result in the separation of the wiper link ball. If separation were to occur, the windshield wipers could become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the wiper link rod with a countermeasure one, and will replace the wiper motor crank arm with a new one.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2016382 · manufacturer campaign SR-16-007

29 July 2016

Transport Canada lists: Lancer 2008–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage, a mixture of snow, water and road-salt solution may infiltrate between the front impact sensor and the bracket that attaches it to the vehicle. Over time, repeated freezing/thawing cycles could cause a crack to develop in the sensor case allowing water intrusion and short circuit of the sensor. In the event of a crash, this could result in delayed deployment of the driver and passenger front airbags which would increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the front impact sensor and replace it if it is found to be cracked. An updated designed bracket and cover will also be installed.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2015386 · manufacturer campaign SR15-009

28 August 2015

Transport Canada lists: Lancer 2014–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the right parking brake cable may have been incorrectly installed resulting in insufficient clearance with the fuel tank, causing abrasive contact between the two components. This contact could result in the coating on the fuel tank deteriorating and allowing rust to form, which could result in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the right parking brake cable and inspect the fuel tank. If the fuel tank’s exterior coating is damaged from contact with the parking brake cable, the fuel tank will also be replaced.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2014192 · manufacturer campaign SR-14-004

28 May 2014

Transport Canada lists: Lancer 2014

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the cross-member brace, possibly causing the power steering pressure tube to rust from abrasive contact. This could cause a power steering fluid leak, resulting in increased steering effort and potential for a fire in the presence of an ignition source. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect line routing and replace the pressure line as required.
