| Mitsubishi recalls nearly 7,000 Lancer models from 2008 and 2009 over fuel pipe crack concerns Posted: 18 Sep 2009 08:18 AM PDT  After talking earlier today about the fact that recalls will be made mandatory in the European Union, Mitsubishi and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) from the United States have announced that they are calling back into service 6,903 Lancer models. The recall, which applies to any of the vehicles made during 2008 and 2009, including versions like Evolution, Ralliart, and Sportback Ralliart, besides the normal one, is due to an improperly attached fuel pipe, which, after running the engine at certain speeds and causing vibrations, will make it crack, spilling the fuel onto the hot motor, thus generating a big fire. Mitsubishi dealers are now instructed to call back the models they have sold and replace the fuel pipe, while adding two new brackets in order to make sure that any vibrations from the motor won’t lead to any new cracks in it. All of the process will be completely free of charge, so Lancer owners can rest safe. You can contact the manufacturer at 1-888-648-7820, or you can contact the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236. Hopefully this dangerous problem will be fixed and everyone driving a Lancer in the United States can rest safely once more and enjoy their Japanese car.

| Toyota plans to launch new vehicles under the Prius hybrid brand Posted: 18 Sep 2009 08:01 AM PDT  Everybody knows Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, and with this size, it has allowed itself to create other brands, like Lexus or Scion, in order to make more models based on the same platforms. But one other name will join, under certain circumstances, this lineup, as the company announced at a dealer convention in Las Vegas that it will build the Prius hybrid brand by launching new vehicles under it. While it won’t be a full fledge one, the Prius brand will gather under it all of the new hybrids that the company is preparing to launch or experimenting with. This move will further fuel the rumors that the Japanese company is working on a coupe version of the regular, four-door, Prius, but also a pickup truck, based on the A-BAT concept revealed a few months ago. Even though the company declined to reveal any details on when these models will appear, some analysts believe that 2012 might be a good time for the Prius lineup to see some fresh new models. Until then, we’re left with the same old popular hybrid. Read More: “Toyota plans to launch new vehicles under the Prius hybrid brand” Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:
