Mitsubishi Galant Recalls (2010-2010)
The Mitsubishi Galant has been the subject of 1 recall campaign on record with NHTSA across the 2010 model years. They cluster mostly around the engine and engine cooling.
The Mitsubishi Galant scores 99 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 0% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 1 campaigns span 1 model year of the Mitsubishi Galant. The single largest affected 2,307 vehicles, over engine and engine cooling. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Galant problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Mitsubishi Galant may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
