2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a defective electrical relay that can cause the engine to stall, lose power, or overheat while driving. Two separate recalls affect the rear parking brake calipers: water can enter and corrode the internal shafts, causing the parking brake to stick engaged or fail to hold at all. On the structural side, the liftgate's gas-lift supports can corrode and lose pressure suddenly, dropping the hatch without warning and raising the risk of injury to anyone underneath. The front wiper linkage can also corrode where water collects near the hood, causing the wipers to separate from the linkage and stop working entirely, which cuts visibility in rain. There is also a transmission concern: the continuously variable transmission can hesitate when the driver calls for acceleration, creating a gap between input and response that raises crash risk in certain driving situations.
