If the fuel leveling valve does not seal properly, fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.

Dealers will replace the leveling valve. The recall began on august 30, 2004. Owners should contact mitsubishi at 1‑800‑222‑0037 or mitsubishi caribbean at 1‑787‑251‑8715.
