What's wrong, in plain English

Mitsubishi is recalling certain Outlander vehicles that came with 18-inch alloy wheels. The certification label on these vehicles lists the wrong rim size for the rear wheels. Because of that error, the label does not meet the federal rule covering tire selection and rims. Mitsubishi will send owners a corrected label at no charge, and owners who prefer can have a dealer put the new label on for them instead, also at no charge.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 (recall number SR-18-006) about the corrected label.
3. Apply the label Mitsubishi mails you, or have a dealer replace it — either way it is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V591000.
