Mitsubishi Recall FP072007-1: Aftermarket Fuel Pump Module Assemblies/Leaks

1998 Mitsubishi Galant

In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak could result in a fire.

Fuel System, Gasoline — Delivery — Fuel Pump

Summary
Certain Airtex fuel pump module assemblies, P/N E7081H, sold for use as replacement equipment for the vehicles listed above. The wall of the flared fitting of the fuel pump is not thick enough to prevent the mating threaded fittings from bottoming out before an adequate seal is achieved. This condition may result in leakage of fuel at the connection of the vehicle fuel line and the fuel pump module assembly.
Actions
Airtex will notify owners and replace the fuel pumps free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during July 2007. Owners can contact Airtex automotive at 800-880-3056.
