Mitsubishi waited five years to recall the vehicles after receiving the first report of problems in March 2010. The automaker received a report about a strange noise coming from under the passenger seat. After monitoring blower motor failures for the past four years, Mitsubishi finally ordered a recall because a defective windshield defroster is a safety risk. Mitsubishi hasn't announced when the blower motor recall will begin, but said dealers will replace the blower motor in all affected vehicles. 2009-2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2009-2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution As in the previous recall, Mitsubishi waited five years to recall the vehicles after the first reported incident.
