What's wrong, in plain English
Mitsubishi is recalling certain Outlander and Outlander PHEV vehicles that were sold in, or are now registered in, a list of states that includes Alaska, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. The gas-filled cylinders that hold the rear liftgate open can corrode and lose pressure. A cylinder in that condition can burst, or the liftgate it is supposed to hold up can fall unexpectedly. Mitsubishi will replace the left and right liftgate gas springs.
What you should do
2. Contact a Mitsubishi dealer to have both liftgate gas springs replaced, or call Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820.
3. The replacement parts and work are free of charge.
