https://carrecalltracker.com/mitsubishi/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v549000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v549000/Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025-2026 Outlanders and 2026 Outlander PHEVs, the software that runs the dashboard screen was programmed incorrectly. When you shift into reverse, the screen may fail to show the picture from the backup camera. That means you could be backing up with a blank screen instead of a view of what is behind you, making it easier to hit a person, a pet, or something you cannot see out the back window. Dealers reprogram the system. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v252000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v252000/Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000The two gas-filled cylinders that hold your Outlander's rear hatch open can corrode and lose pressure. When that happens, the hatch may not stay up — it can fall unexpectedly while you are loading groceries or reaching into the back. In some cases the cylinder itself can burst. Either one can injure whoever is standing there. Mitsubishi will replace both the left and right liftgate struts at no cost. This recall adds vehicles beyond an earlier one, so check yours again. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v507000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v507000/Thu, 07 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000The two gas-filled struts that hold your rear hatch open can rust from road salt and lose pressure. Over time one can burst, or the hatch can drop without warning while you are loading groceries or standing behind the car. This applies only to vehicles sold or registered in states that salt their roads in winter. Your dealer will replace both struts, left and right, at no cost to you. Letters went out October 6, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v369000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v369000/Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000A software error in the dashboard screen system can make the backup camera picture freeze on an old image or not appear at all. If you rely on that screen when reversing, you may not see a child, a pet, or another vehicle behind you. Federal rules require a working rear camera view, so these vehicles do not meet the standard. The dealer reloads the screen software for free. This replaces an earlier recall, so cars fixed under that one need the new fix too. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v345000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v345000/Tue, 06 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000A software mistake in the dashboard touchscreen system — the screen that runs the radio, maps, and camera — can stop the backup camera picture from coming up when you shift into reverse. Federal rules require a working rear view image, so these vehicles do not meet that standard. A dealer will reload the screen software at no charge. Mitsubishi has since issued a newer recall, number 25V369, that takes the place of this one. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v563000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v563000/Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000These Outlander Sport models have a small computer that runs the automatic transmission. An error in that computer's software can make it pick the wrong gear setting at high speed. When that happens, the engine can shut off — stall — while you are driving. An engine that quits at speed can leave you slowing or stopped in traffic and raises the chance of a crash. The dealer loads corrected software into the transmission computer, which takes little time and costs nothing. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v470000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v470000/Fri, 08 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000Some 2022 Mitsubishi Outlanders have a software error that can stop the backup camera picture from showing on the dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. With no picture, you cannot see children, pets, or objects directly behind the vehicle. Federal rules require a working rear view, so these vehicles do not meet the standard. A dealer will reload the camera software free of charge. Mitsubishi has since replaced this recall with a newer one. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v335000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v335000/Fri, 13 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000Three seat belts — the front passenger belt and both outer second-row belts — have a locking mode you use to hold a child seat tight. You pull the belt all the way out and it ratchets so it cannot loosen. On these Outlanders, that locking mode can switch off before the belt has pulled all the way snug, so a child seat held by that belt may end up loose instead of firmly secured. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v027000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v027000/Mon, 24 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000The fuel pump sits in the gas tank and pushes gasoline to the engine. Inside these pumps, small electrical parts and wires were joined together the wrong way during manufacturing. That bad connection can make the pump quit working. If the pump stops, the engine stops getting fuel, and the car can shut off while you are driving, possibly in traffic or at highway speed. Dealers will install a new fuel pump at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v821000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v821000/Mon, 18 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000A welding robot at the factory was programmed incorrectly and welded the center pillar wrong on a single 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. The center pillar is the post between the front and rear doors; it helps hold the body together in a side crash, anchors the seat belts, and supports the roof if the vehicle rolls over. Because the body itself is weaker, Mitsubishi is not repairing this one — it is buying the vehicle back and replacing it free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v596000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v596000/Mon, 02 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000Seat belts have a locking mode you use to hold a child car seat tight — you pull the belt all the way out and it clicks as it retracts. On these SUVs, that lock can switch off too early on the front passenger belt and both second-row belts. If it does, the child seat may not be held firmly in place. A loose child seat can move in a crash, so a child could be hurt more badly. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v403000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v403000/Mon, 13 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000On some 2014-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander and 2018-2019 Outlander PHEV SUVs, the middle seat belt buckle in the second row can bump into the buckle for the right-side seat when the seat backs are folded down. That can knock the cover off the right-side buckle. Once the cover comes off, the buckle will not latch, so the person sitting there cannot buckle up at all. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v280000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v280000/Mon, 18 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000The seat belt for the right-hand seat in the second row may have been put together incorrectly at the factory. A belt that is assembled wrong may not hold the person in that seat the way it should if there is a crash. The belt may look normal and buckle normally, so there is no easy way to tell from the outside whether yours is affected. Dealers will inspect that one belt and replace it if it was built wrong. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v330000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v330000/Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000The airbag system has a sensor that detects the sudden jolt of a crash. In these cars, that sensor can mistake ordinary shaking — from rough roads or a flat tire — for a fault, and in response it switches off every airbag in the car. If you then get into a crash, none of the airbags will inflate to protect you. A dealer will reprogram the airbag control unit's software so it stops misreading normal vibration. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v621000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v621000/Fri, 14 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000The computer that controls braking on these vehicles may have the wrong software loaded. Because of that, safety features that are supposed to step in for you might not work when you need them — including automatic emergency braking, anti-lock brakes that keep the wheels from locking up, stability control that helps the car stay straight, and the brake hold feature. If one of those does not kick in during an emergency, you are more likely to crash. A dealer will reload the correct software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v620000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v620000/Fri, 14 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000These vehicles have an automatic emergency braking system that watches for people in front of the car. Because of a software error, the system can keep braking longer than it should, even after the person is out of the way. If the car slows down hard for no obvious reason, the driver may hit the brakes too, and the vehicle behind may not stop in time. The dealer reloads the system with corrected software free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v591000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v591000/Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000Nothing is mechanically wrong with the vehicle. The certification label — the sticker that lists tire and wheel information — shows an incorrect rim size for the rear wheels on Outlanders with 18-inch alloy wheels. If you or a repair shop relied on that sticker when buying replacement wheels, you could end up with the wrong size fitted. Mitsubishi will mail a corrected label free, or a dealer will replace it free if you prefer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/17v686000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/17v686000/Mon, 30 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000In certain 2014-2018 Mirage cars, a sensor inside the airbag computer can be fooled by ordinary shaking — rough roads or a flat tire, for example. The computer mistakes that vibration for a broken sensor and switches the airbags off. If you then get into a crash, the airbags may not inflate at all. Mitsubishi dealers will load new software into the airbag computer so it no longer misreads normal bumps and jolts.
