2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander has 7 recalls, with the most serious involving the forward collision mitigation system, which can apply the brakes unexpectedly or more forcefully than intended, raising the risk of a rear-end crash. A related software issue affects the brake system's hydraulic unit, which can reset without warning and cause other safety features to stop working correctly. On vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control or the electronic parking brake, those systems may also fail to operate as intended. The liftgate gas struts can corrode and lose pressure, causing the liftgate to drop suddenly or the strut to rupture, either of which can strike someone standing behind the vehicle. There is also a second-row seatbelt concern: when the rear seat backs are folded flat, the center buckle can interfere with the right-side buckle, preventing proper latching and leaving an occupant unrestrained in a crash.
