Mitsubishi, Subaru recalling 600000 US vehicles - The Detroit News
Washington — Mitsubishi Motors North America said it is issuing two new recalls covering more than 530,000 vehicles in the United States — including 459,000 for air bag issues.

Separately, Mitsubishi is recalling 74,000 2006-09 Eclipse and 2007-09 Eclipse Spyder cars because rust inside the antil-lock brake system may cause one of the internal valves to seize. In a braking event that uses the ABS, a seized valve would increase brake pedal travel and reduce braking ability. Also Thursday, Subaru of America said it is recalling 74,000 2015 Legacy, Impreza, XV Crosstrek and 2016 WRX vehicles with the Eyesight Driver Assist System. If the switch that activates the brake lights and fails, the automatic pre-collision braking component of the driver assist system will not function. “If the automatic pre-collision braking system does not function as intended, the vehicle will not react to an obstacle in its path, increasing the risk of a crash,” the automaker said.
