2015 Evo Recall

Anyone Know about this? I saw something about a supplier making a faulty relay that can kill your ECU leaving you stranded on the side of the road or something of the like. Is anyone aware of this notice or had it replaced yet?

Mitsubishi has had an awful time with Omron and their relays during this car's production! Nothing huge to worry about but you should call the dealer to get it scheduled for repair.

No this looks to be a different relay issue.

Anyway, you can look up your own car at

My 2015 X is on there.

"IF THE RELAY FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT FAILS, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED.

IF THE RELAY FOR THE ENGINE VALVE LIFT CONTROL FAILS, THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE AND FAIL-SAFE MODE WILL BE ACTIVATED, LIMITING AVAILABLE ENGINE POWER.

IF THE RELAY FOR THE RADIATOR FAN FAILS, THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WILL RISE, THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE, AND THE ENGINE MAY OVERHEAT."

Don't know if that's an exhaustive list but that's what the text of the recall lists.

Thanks for that link... was going to ask where I could check for myself if there was a recall. Mitsubishi service is horrible.

Which relay you replaced? You can still ask for recall and they will replace it for you.

Btw i got mine done last week. 30 mins in/out with multi inspection and free wash lol

i have been watching for my VIN to pop on the website however it still has not. Does anyone know if it takes time for them to get the all loaded? I have a 2015 and i notice that the car always feel different every time i drive the damn thing! Not sure if this could be why or not

I also got a physical letter, and mine comes up on their site. I'd say wait another week or three. If still nothing then you should be in the clear.

You could also go to the dealer, they should be able to pull the fuses and tell if they're a faulty part number. Maybe even call Mitsu directly and ask how to identify the bad relays.
