2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has 6 recalls, the most serious involving the front control arm, which can detach from the vehicle and cause a sudden loss of steering control. The parking brake is also affected: water can get into the rear brake calipers and corrode the parking brake actuator shafts, causing the parking brake to fail to fully engage or release. On the safety equipment side, the front passenger seatbelt's lap end attachment bolt may not have been tightened properly at the factory and can loosen over time, leaving that occupant with reduced protection in a crash. The liftgate strut can also corrode and rapidly lose its gas charge, causing the rear hatch to drop suddenly and unexpectedly. Two recalls address windshield wiper reliability. Water that gets between the hood and windshield can corrode the wiper linkage ball joint until the linkage separates and the wipers stop working, and the same water intrusion path can reach the wiper motor itself, causing internal corrosion and motor failure. Either problem leaves the driver without wipers in wet conditions.
