NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical system complaints are the most common pattern owners of the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander report. Several owners describe the instrument cluster or dashboard shutting down intermittently while driving, causing loss of speedometer and warning displays. Suspension-related reports are the next most frequent, with owners describing the rear of the vehicle moving or shifting unexpectedly at speed, one diagnosis pointed to a failed rear control module component. Engine complaints, though fewer, include cooling system issues and potential internal damage. Owners of the plug-in hybrid variant also report the electric drive system intermittently refusing to engage despite available battery charge, sometimes accompanied by a "Power Reduced" warning that clears on its own after the vehicle sits. A separate brake complaint describes a rear caliper seizing early, causing uneven pad wear at low mileage, though that pattern appears in a single report rather than as a recurring theme.

By System
The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander has 2 recalls, both involving the rearview camera, which can fail to display an image or freeze when the vehicle is in reverse, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle.
A software error in the infotainment system is responsible for both issues. When the camera image is absent or stuck on a frozen frame, the driver loses the visibility aid the system is meant to provide, raising the risk of a collision while backing up.
