Buying a used 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Phev? Check these 4 recalls first
Restraints dominate the 2019 Outlander PHEV's recall list: a rear seat belt assembled incorrectly, plus a second-row buckle that may stop latching. Two more cover liftgate struts corroding and dropping the hatch. No stop-driving or park-outside orders. Of 22 unverified NHTSA complaints, service brakes lead by a wide margin (10), then electrical system (5) and air bags (4); four crashes and three injuries are reported.
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.
- Verify the rear seat belt recall repair was performed, not just mailed
- Ask about brake feel, noise or pedal complaints and any recent brake work
- Inspect liftgate struts for rust and test that the hatch stays up
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
