2011 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a front lower control arm that can detach while driving, causing sudden loss of steering and vehicle control. The engine also carries a risk: the drive belt tensioner flange can crack, letting the accessory belt slip off, which drains the battery and stalls the engine without warning. On the steering side, certain vehicles that received a replacement 6-speed automatic transmission during prior service may have a power steering fluid leak that reduces or eliminates steering assistance. Two recalls cover the windshield wiper system: water entering between the hood and windshield can corrode the wiper motor from the inside until it stops working, and the same moisture can corrode the wiper linkage ball joint until the linkage separates entirely, leaving the wipers inoperative in wet conditions.
