Buying a used 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander? Check these 5 recalls first
Seat belts headline the 2019 Outlander: a rear belt assembled incorrectly, plus a second-row buckle that may stop latching. Two liftgate strut corrosion recalls and a low-priority wrong rear wheel size label round it out; none are stop-driving or park-outside. NHTSA holds 29 unverified owner complaints, led by service brakes (9), air bags (7) and electrical system (7), including five crashes, one fire and five injuries.
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.
- Inspect and test all rear belts, especially where a child seat would go
- Ask when brake pads, rotors or hydraulics were last serviced
- Confirm the seat belt and strut recalls show as completed by VIN
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
