Buying a used 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has 2 recalls in this group, both involving software: forward collision braking and other safety systems. Software correction records are therefore a central part of the recall review. Its 21 owner complaints filed with NHTSA are unverified reports, with electrical system issues appearing in 7, air bags in 6, and power train in 5. The complaint record also lists 4 crashes and 3 injuries, without establishing their 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.
- Verify VIN-specific completion of both software recalls.
- Ask about electrical faults and air bag warning lights.
- Review power train complaints and related repair invoices.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
