2008 to 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV's Recalled
 Mitsubishi have issued a recall of nearly 40,000 2008 to 2009 Outlander sport utility vehicles. The recall involves an incorrect material composition of the brake booster check valve that may cause the valve to stick closed even when the engine is off, causing an insufficient braking assist. The lack of brake assistance may increase the stopping distance of the vehicle, potentially leading to an increased risk of crash. Owners are encouraged to contact their local dealer as soon as possible via Mitsubishi at 800-222-0037.

Mitsubishi Kills Raider Pickup Truck
 The mid-size Raider pickup truck from Mitsubishi and Chrysler LLC sucks and both companies knows it, which is the reason why they have officially killed off the truck. Based off of the Dodge Dakota model platform, Mitsubishi sold less than 3,000 units in all of 2008 and will not be offering a new vehicle to fill the Raider's shoes. Peace out suck-truck.
