What's wrong, in plain English

In some Outlander SUVs, the automatic locking feature in the right front seat belt and in both second-row seat belts may stop working before the belt is completely pulled back in. This feature is what normally holds a child car seat tightly in place. If it shuts off too early, a child restraint system buckled into one of these seat belts may end up loose instead of held securely, so it might not fully do its job of keeping the child seat in place.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Mitsubishi dealer, or call Mitsubishi customer service at 1-88-648-7820, to schedule an inspection.
3. The repair (seat belt replacement, if needed) 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 22V335000.

Summary: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2022 Outlander vehicles.

Safety risk: An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
