• Recall R/2014/044 [UK]: Reduction in power steering assistance
  Due to a nonconformity in the manufacture of the alternator pulley (free wheel type) the contact surface of the pulley might be deformed. In use the tightening torque of the alternator pulley can decrease resulting in the pulley detaching from the alternator. Should this happen the driver will notice reduced power steering assistance and the warning lamp for the charging system will illuminate.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ascertain which alternator is fitted. Where an unmodified alternator is fitted replace the alternator.

• Recall 2020216 [Canada]: Structure
  Issue: on certain vehicles, road salt can corrode the front cross-member (subframe). As a result, a lower control arm could eventually detach from the cross-member. This could cause a loss of vehicle control. Safety risk: a loss of control can create the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front cross-member (subframe). If no significant corrosion is found, the dealer will spray a sealing and anti-corrosion coating both inside and on the cross-member. If significant corrosion is found, the dealer will replace the cross-member.

• Recall 2018052 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the flange of the drive belt automatic tensioner may crack over time due to repetitive high load operations and stress concentration. This could cause the drive belt to detach, leading to battery depletion, which would result in a loss of motive power and a loss of power steering assist. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the auto tensioner with a countermeasure unit.

• Recall 2017364 [Canada]: Visual system
  On certain vehicles, water may drain from the windshield cowl area and potentially collect in the area of the wiper motor breathing hole. If the wiper motor is not operating, water could potentially enter the wiper motor through the breathing hole. If this occurs, over time, it could result in corrosion and/or an electrical conduction failure, both of which could result in the wiper motor not operating. If the wiper motor were to stop operating, the windshield wipers would become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the wiper motor with an upgraded wiper motor that will prevent water intrusion.

• Recall 2016529 [Canada]: Visual system
  On certain vehicles, water may drain from the windshield cowl area onto the front wiper link ball joint. Over time, this could result in corrosion and/or wear to the joint, which could result in the separation of the wiper link ball. If separation were to occur, the windshield wipers could become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the rubber boot which covers the ball joint with a countermeasure one, and the wiper motor crank arm will also be inspected and replaced as necessary.

• Recall 2016317 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, road salt can corrode the front crossmember assembly, which may ultimately lead to separation of the control arm at the mounting point. This would allow the wheel to rotate off its designed axis, and could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect the crossmember and apply an anti-corrosion treatment or replace the assembly, as required.

• Recall 2015166 [Canada]: Heater and defroster
  On certain vehicles, the blower motor may have been incorrectly manufactured. This could result in a premature failure of the blower motor which could affect the defroster performance resulting in reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace blower motor and the power transistor as needed.

• Recall 2014397 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain vehicles, the drive belt material may cause abnormal pulley wear. If the vehicle is driven under this condition, the drive belt may become damaged from the worn pulley and detach, affecting electrical charging system and cooling system function and would illuminate the engine warning lamp(s) on the instrument panel. This could result in battery depletion and an overheated engine, resulting in a loss of motive power. Vehicles equipped with a hydraulic power steering system could also experience loss of power steering assist. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the drive belt, and the pulley will be replaced if it is found worn beyond a certain level.

• Recall 2014247 [Canada]: Steering
  Certain 2013 model year vehicles with a 6-speed automatic transmission may have been manufactured with insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the bosses on the converter housing of the automatic transaxle. This may cause the power steering pressure tube to rust from abrasive contact between the two components. In the worst case, a pin hole could develop and allow for power steering fluid leakage, which can result in the loss of power steering assist and increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the power steering pressure tube and return tube. Note: only a limited number of 2007 to 2012 model year vehicles equipped with a replacement automatic transaxle with the bosses on the converter housing are included in the recall population.

Harpswell auto illegally sold me a vehicle with 5 safely recalls on the vehicle before i bought the vehicle. Safety recall codes are C1611z, C1614z, C1801r, C1806z, C2003r. I bought the vehicle 4/25/2020 and 2 recalls were due in 2016 and 3 were due in 2019. Where these are very big safety recalls i think harpswell auto needs to have their license revoke for service and inspection stickers because my vehicle should never have passed inspection with the crossmember recall completely rotted out.

Vehicle was stationary and smelled of gas. Took to mechanic who provided evidence that the fuel tank is leaking fuel. The mechanic provided pictures of the tank which looks to have abnormal damage. Does not seem that tanks would leak in the evidenced manner. Contacted both mitsubishi dealership and mitsubishi manufacturer who could not provide replacement tank in timely manner and were not willing to address the safety issue raised regarding the status of the fuel tank. The vehicle has not been driven far at all due to the pandemic and there has not been a reason to be concerned about damage to the fuel tank from the perspective of the driver/owner.

This model vehicle has a bad design flaw that mitsubishi refuses to acknowledge. The location of the air conditioner discharge causes water to drip directly onto the sub frame below. This dripping corroded a hole through my sub frame deeming it structurally unsound and unsafe to drive, and caused it failed my state inspection. My local dealer and mitsubishi both refused to cover the cost of replacing the part since no recall currently exists. I ended up getting a used part from a local shop for half the cost of what the dealer quoted me. I also had the mechanic jury rig an ac discharge tube extension to direct the water away from the sub frame so it wouldn't keep happening. Had my state inspector not caught this corrosion, i would be still driving the unsafe vehicle. A compromised sub frame could result in numerous failures that could cause an accident. I was lucky it did not get to that point. It is clear the corrosion is a direct result of the ac discharge, rather than normal wear and tear. The rest of the sub frame and suspension through out the vehicle does not have anywhere near the level or corrosion that is directly below the ac discharge tube. Google searching this problem makes it clear i am not the only one. There are other models of outlanders and outlander sports that seem to have the same issue. This needs to be investigated so a recall can be issued for all models with this design.
