What's wrong, in plain English
Mitsubishi is recalling certain Outlander Sport vehicles that have a continuously variable transmission and a mechanical key ignition switch. These vehicles have a software error in the computer that controls the transmission. The error may cause the transmission to incorrectly reduce its gear ratio while the vehicle is traveling at high speed. When that happens, the sudden change can cause the engine to stall while the vehicle is being driven.
