Safety Consequence
The connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector and may result in a fire.
Corrective Action
Dealers will relocate the floor harness from beneath both the passenger and driver seats to above the carpet and away from the bottom of the floorboard to prevent contact with any future melt solution. the recall began on april 7, 2008. owners may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
