Why it matters

A tailgate that drops suddenly could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Transport Canada recall 2020317 · manufacturer campaign SR-20-004

14 July 2020

Transport Canada lists: Outlander 2014–2019

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seat belt buckle for the right seat in the second-row could be damaged when the seats are folded down. This can cause the seat belt buckle cover to come off. If this happens, the seat belt may not latch properly.

Why it matters

A seat belt that does not latch properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to modify the center seat belt buckle in the second seating row. A warning label will also be attached to the right seat base and additional instructions will be added to the owner's manual.

14 September 2018

Transport Canada lists: Eclipse 2018 · Outlander 2017–2018 · RVR 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an issue in the software that manages the brake system Hydraulic Unit may allow it to reset without warning and could cause some vehicle features to malfunction. If this were to occur while driving, the following features may be affected: automatic braking (if Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) and/or Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) is in operation), Antilock Brake System (ABS), Active Stability Control (ASC), Brake Auto Hold (BAH). If these systems malfunction, there could be an increased risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the Hydraulic Unit control software.

14 September 2018

Transport Canada lists: Eclipse 2018–2019 · Outlander 2017–2018 · RVR 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an issue in the software used by the Electronic Control Unit responsible for managing the Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) feature may cause it to not operate as intended alerting the driver to brake unnecessarily in certain situations. If the driver attempts to brake while FCM is also activating, the vehicle may decelerate rapidly. This could create a situation where another motorist does not anticipate a preceding vehicle’s sudden brake application or stop, creating the risk of a rear-end collision causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the software for the Forward Collision Mitigation system.
