France
Mitsubishi passenger cars labeled COLT (type e2*2007/46*0676*31, barcode R30447, batch 25.10.2025) sold in France are affected. An anomaly in the tightening process may leave the front lower control arm ball joint nuts insufficiently tightened, causing clicking or knocking, and could eventually loosen the wheel-to-frame connection so the vehicle may veer off course and increase accident risk. The manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall from consumers (Safety Gate alert SR/02528/26).
