Re: Customer Satisfaction Campaign SC-15-003
Dear Mitsubishi Owner,
Mitsubishi Motors always strives to build vehicles with the highest level of quality, and continuously improve
that quality with every vehicle built. To help assure continued satisfaction with your Mitsubishi vehicle, we
are recommending that the following product improvement be performed on certain 2015 Outlander Sport
vehicles with CVT-8 transmissions built from June 25, 2014 to September 14, 2015.
Recommended Product Improvement:
Certain vehicles with CVT-8 transmissions may exhibit a shudder condition at low speeds (10 – 40 mph), or
a surge/flare of engine rpm at higher speeds. This may be caused by a malfunctioning of the CVT’s
hydraulic pressure control software. In the worst case scenario, with continued driving under these
conditions, the CVT belt may become damaged and cause a warning light to turn on.
What your dealer will do:
Your local Mitsubishi dealer will reprogram the transmission control module (TCM). This repair will take
from 0.3 to 0.6 hours to complete. In extreme cases, the transmission may need to be replaced. This repair
will take approximately 6.8 to 8.2 hours. However, the dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of
time due to scheduling. Every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience. Product improvements
will be completed free of charge.
What you should do:
Please contact your local Mitsubishi dealership to schedule an appointment. Although not required, it is
recommended to bring this letter when you take your vehicle into the dealership.
