Mitsubishi Recall: Mitsubishi Motor Corp. and Chrysler Corp. are recalling 1,648 new 1995 cars--1,500 Eagle Talon models and 148 Mitsubishi Eclipse models--to reinforce a panel to which the anti-locking brake system’s hydraulic unit is attached.

Diamond-Star Motors, the Mitsubishi subsidiary that manufactures the cars in Illinois, determined that the panel isn’t adequate to support the hydraulic unit. The need to reinforce the support panel was discovered during endurance testing. The car companies said that neither complaints from owners nor injuries have been reported.
