In the affected vehicles, the brake light switch may malfunction causing the brake lights to not illuminate during brake application.

Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-010. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 08V-680 and does not include any vehicles that were previously recalled.
