What's wrong?
The fuel filler pipe on 2004-2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor SUVs is the metal passage that carries gasoline from the fuel door down to the fuel tank. It has to stay sealed while fuel is added, and it sits near brackets and body structure under the vehicle where winter road debris collects.
On affected Endeavors, mud mixed with road salt can get trapped between a reinforcing bracket and the filler pipe. In severe corrosive areas where road salt is used through winter, that trapped material holds moisture against the pipe. Over time, the pipe corrodes. Once corrosion opens the metal, gasoline can leak from the filler pipe while the vehicle is being fueled.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall record does not identify a reliable early symptom before the filler pipe starts leaking during fueling.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2004 through 2010 Endeavor model years, all tied to the same fuel-filler pipe and cap assembly.

What's the safety risk?
Fuel leakage near an ignition source creates a fire risk. Schedule the repair soon. If you smell fuel or see a leak, park safely, shut the vehicle off, and call the dealer before driving again. Repair will be free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2004-2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor is included in this recall.
- Wait for Mitsubishi repair instructions if your VIN shows an open recall and no dealer remedy is listed yet.
- Ask a franchised Mitsubishi dealer whether the free fuel-filler-pipe replacement is open for your VIN; the repair replaces the corroded pipe that can leak fuel during fueling.
- Bring the recall notice if Mitsubishi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V065 when you call.
- Avoid fueling near ignition sources and stop driving if you smell fuel or see fuel leaking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mitsubishi technician replaces the fuel filler pipe with a new improved part. The filing listed July 5, 2010 as the expected start date, but this section does not have a current available remedy status. The dealer repair is free once available, and parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ask the Mitsubishi service desk to confirm whether the campaign is open for your VIN before arranging the appointment.
