The American register
The British register
The European register
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1481/13: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, notified by Greece
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/0351/15: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Pajero/Shogun, notified by Germany
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1379/15: Mitsubishi Outlander; Lancer Sportback; Lancer Sportlimousine; Lancer; Lancer Evolution, notified by Germany
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, the fuel return pipe may develop stress cracking, under certain conditions, allowing a fuel leak to occur. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel return pipe and install two additional pipe brackets.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2009260.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mitsubishi: 99 in the register, and 368 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2009.
