Mitsubishi Outlander: Clutch May Fail

Mitsubishi is recalling approximately 19,806 Outlander and Lancer vehicles in the United Kingdom because a clip holding the clutch master cylinder pipe may not clamp tightly enough, potentially causing the pipe to detach. If the pipe detaches, the clutch may stop working. Mitsubishi will replace the fixing clip with a stronger version.
