Buying a used 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Phev? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 15 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Outlander PHEV carries five recalls: two driver-assist braking campaigns, a second-row seat belt buckle that may stop latching, and two covering liftgate struts that can corrode and let the hatch drop. None are stop-driving or park-outside. NHTSA shows 15 unverified owner complaints, spread fairly evenly across power train (5), vehicle speed control (4), electrical system (4) and service brakes (4), with one crash and one fire reported.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Latch and unlatch every second-row belt buckle yourself
3. Open the hatch and check the struts hold it up without sagging or rust
4. Confirm all five recalls, including both strut campaigns, are closed by VIN
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
