NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has 2 recalls, both involving the Forward Collision Mitigation system, which can malfunction in ways that raise the risk of a crash. In one case, the system's software can apply the brakes longer than necessary when detecting a pedestrian, which may cause the driver to react with additional braking. The other recall covers vehicles also equipped with adaptive cruise control or an electronic parking brake, where those safety systems can fail to function as intended.
