As many as 9,066 of Mitsubishi’s Xpander and Outlander cars in Vietnam will be recalled due to faulty fuel pumps, according to an announcement released by Mitsubishi Vietnam on Tuesday.
The recall started on January 15 and will last until January 17, 2023.
Of the 9,066 recalled cars, 3,696 Xpander cars were manufactured from August 21, 2019 to September 20, 2019, while 5,370 Outlander vehicles were produced between January 15, 2018, and July 21, 2019.
The problem of the products subject to the recall is that the plastic impellers for fuel pumps can inflate and stop their operation, causing the engine to stall or fail to start.
