Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
SUMMARY:
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Lancer Evolution vehicles manufactured January 31, 2014, to September 5, 2014, and 2014-2015 Lancer Ralliart vehicles manufactured February 3, 2014, to September 5, 2014. The affected turbocharged vehicles have a right parking brake cable that may contact the fuel tank, wearing away the tank's protective coating.
CONSEQUENCE:
Without the protective coating, the fuel tank may rust and leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
REMEDY:
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right parking brake cable, and inspect the fuel tank, free of charge. If the fuel tank's exterior coating shows signs of damage from abrasive contact with the right parking brake cable, the fuel tank will also be replaced, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-15-009.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
I used this website https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ to check my VIN.

ACD pump isn't a recall. It was extended from 3 year to 10 year warranty. On the website the recall was reported on August 31. Also, if your car does not show a recall it could be that your 2014 was produced late 2013? Or after September 5? I bought my car in October of last year so I'm pretty sure its affected within their dates of cars affected January 31, 2014, to September 5, 2014.

What if you have the MR and don't use Parking brake?
Do you still need to bring it in to get it fixed?
Wonder if the parking brake cable touches the fuel tank even if you don't use the parking brake, but just putting in park.

I would still take It in.
Has anyone got this done yet? It says it takes 1.5 hours not sure how true this is. And is this a fairly simple job? I'm debating if I should drive out 2 hours to a better dealership because I do not trust the one in my town.
