MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER (11/09/2012 – 26/01/2016) RECALL: Due to improper sealing of parking brake caliper shaft boots water might penetrate inside and rust the shaft. As a result of continuous use, the rust will erode into the internal caliper and the shaft becomes stuck causing decreased parking brake force. Due to the improper manufacturing process, the automatic adjuster for brake pad clearance of rear brake caliper might not work properly. As the result as brake pad wear the clearance is not correctly adjusted and brake force becomes insufficient to hold a vehicle. In the worst case scenario parking brake will not work even though a lever is fully operated and the parked vehicle may move.
Remedy
Anti-rust coating (Fluorine) has been applied to parking brake shaft from 27/01/2016 supplied parts & the Inspection process for the caliper has been changed from 14/12/2014 supplied parts.
