Buying a used 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has 2 recalls in this group, both involving software: forward collision braking and other safety-system software. Records confirming the applicable updates are the main recall-related paperwork to review. The 19 owner complaints filed with NHTSA are unverified reports, including 8 for electrical systems, 5 for service brakes, 4 categorized as unknown or other and 3 for the engine. Reported totals include 1 crash, 1 fire and 2 injuries; those reports do not establish software-related causes.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm forward collision braking recall software was installed.
- Verify completion of the safety-system software recall.
- Ask about electrical faults, braking incidents and engine repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
