Recall 15V337 affects 74,836 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder vehicles for ABS corrosion. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.
Mitsubishi is recalling 74,836 2006-2009 Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder vehicles because corrosion inside the anti-lock brake system unit can seize internal valves. In an ABS braking event, that failure increases brake pedal travel and reduces braking ability; Mitsubishi dealers will repair the ABS unit free of charge.

What's wrong?
The ABS hydraulic unit on 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder vehicles is part of the brake system that helps control wheel lockup during hard braking. When the wheels start to slip, the unit uses internal valves to adjust brake pressure at the wheels so the tires keep more control while the vehicle slows.
On affected vehicles, corrosion can form inside the ABS hydraulic unit. Mitsubishi traced the problem to a mismatch between the brake fluid and the zinc surface treatment on the unit's internal valves. Over time, that corrosion can make one or more valves seize. If ABS is needed during a braking event, a seized valve increases brake pedal travel and reduces braking ability.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver is not expected to see a dashboard warning or feel a change before the valve sticks. The problem becomes apparent when the brake pedal travels farther than normal during an ABS braking event.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.
What's the safety risk?
A sudden drop in braking performance increases crash risk because the vehicle needs more time or distance to stop. There is no warning sign before the problem appears, so schedule the recall repair soon and leave extra following distance until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse or Eclipse Spyder is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mitsubishi dealer to schedule the free ABS hydraulic unit inspection, flush, and cleaning that addresses corrosion and sticking ABS valves.
- Bring the owner notice if you have it, and reference recall number 15V337 when you call.
- Ask whether the ABS unit needs replacement if the inspection finds valves at risk of seizing.
- Avoid hard braking and leave extra following distance until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mitsubishi technician inspects the ABS hydraulic unit, then flushes and cleans it with high grade brake fluid. If the inspection shows valve seizure risk inside the ABS unit, the technician replaces the ABS unit instead. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are free. For reimbursement on expenses tied to this recall, Mitsubishi directs owners to contact the Mitsubishi Customer Relations Department for refund instructions, as described in the owner notification letter.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 15V337?
Recall 15V337 covers 74,836 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eclipse Spyder vehicles with corrosion inside the anti-lock brake system hydraulic unit. Internal valves can seize, which increases brake pedal travel and reduces braking ability during ABS braking. Mitsubishi dealers will inspect, flush, and clean the unit for free.
What should I do if my 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse or Eclipse Spyder is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 15V337. If it is, contact a franchised Mitsubishi dealer to schedule the ABS hydraulic unit inspection and service. Reference recall number 15V337 or Mitsubishi recall SR-15-004 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Mitsubishi dealers will inspect, flush, and clean the ABS hydraulic unit free of charge. If the inspection shows the valves are at risk of seizing, the ABS unit will be replaced.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking performance during an ABS braking event. Corrosion inside the ABS hydraulic unit can cause internal valves to seize, which increases brake pedal travel and reduces braking ability. That sudden loss of braking performance increases crash risk.
What warning signs should I watch for?
Watch for longer brake pedal travel or weaker braking during hard braking that activates ABS. The recall defect is inside the ABS hydraulic unit, so a normal drive before an ABS event does not confirm your vehicle is clear. The VIN check decides whether the recall applies.
