Mitsubishi Galant, Eclipse Spyder +1 more: Fuel System

Affects Mitsubishi Galant, Eclipse Spyder, Eclipse · 2003–2004 — about 635 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the fuel return line hose fitting on the electric fuel pump may be restricted, causing excessive fuel pressure to build up in the fuel injection system. Excessive fuel pressure may result in the fuel return hose becoming dislodged, resulting in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Correction: Dealer will inspect the fuel pump pressure. Those vehicles exhibiting higher than normal fuel pump pressure will receive fuel pump modifications.
