What's wrong, in plain English
Mitsubishi is recalling certain Outlander and Outlander PHEV vehicles because of a software problem in the vehicle's infotainment system. Due to improper programming, the system may fail to show the rearview camera image on the screen when the vehicle is put into reverse. This means the driver may not be able to see the picture from the rearview camera while backing up, which does not meet federal rear visibility requirements.
What you should do
2. Contact a Mitsubishi dealer, or call MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820, to schedule the infotainment software update.
3. The update is free of charge.
