Recalls on the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
United States — NHTSA
25V369000
BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to a software error in the in-vehicle infotainment system (A-IVI), the rearview camera image may freeze, or not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 202530168,329 units in Canada
Visual System
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display screen. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2023-285. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the infotainment display software.
Recall 2024554258,000 units in Canada
Label
Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words and abbreviations listed on the label for "TIRES", "RIMS", "WITH", "FR" and "RR" and appear in English only, when they should be listed as "TIRES/PNEUS", "RIMS/JANTES", "WITH/AVEC", "FR/AVT" and "RR/ARR". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Mitsubishi has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

STEERING
I was driving my vehicle, the roads were snowy so was traveling slowly. I attempted to slow down a little more, when I pushed on the brake there was absolutely no response, usually you can feel and even hear the brakes (abs) functioning, there was nothing. I also tried to steer, again, no response, the vehicle continued straight, we went into a ditch and rolled on our side. I tried to put down a window but all dash lights, etc were off and car was not running. I pushed the "start button" dash lights came on, could roll down windows, etc... and the car even starts and runs now. It seems as though there was no "control" of any kind, we were going slow and I even had time to tell my passenger, "be prepared, hold on"...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2024 Outlander locked all the doors while the engine was running and the FAST key was inside the vehicle. I exited normally through the driver’s door and did not intentionally lock the vehicle. I want this documented on the repair order and I’d like the keyless-operation system checked, including the interior key antenna and any BCM/keyless-system faults or available software updates. I am available for inspection. Not reproduced except by myself. Vehicle has been inspected by no one. No warning. This is a hazard because a child or pet could have been locked inside. I could be stranded in an unsafe location or in severe weather that would pose a risk to myself. The car could run out of gas by the time I’d figure out how to get back inside.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle exhibits an intense, overpowering raw gasoline smell inside the passenger cabin, specifically originating from beneath the rear seat area. When the climate control/AC fan is turned on, raw fuel vapors are siphoned directly out of the dashboard air vents into the faces of the occupants, causing headaches and dizziness.Two independent mechanics have pressure-tested the fuel lines and confirmed there are no liquid fuel leaks, proving this is a structural vapor siphoning defect. Mitsubishi has documented this exact factory defect under TSB TS-25-13-001 (NHTSA ID: MC-11018002-0001), but the local dealership refuses to perform the safety repair without a massive out-of-pocket payment because the vehicle has 87,000 miles. This is an immediate fire and health hazard for anyone inside the vehicle.

Front driver seat belt does not retract and has caused damage to door. Vehicle is available for inspection. We are worried that the seatbelt will not function properly in an accident since is does not function properly now. No confirmation by dealer, going in next week for service, however, dealer representative did say on phone that Mitsibishi s don't have seat belt problems??? First noticed problem last winter when I noticed the dents in the door frame being caused by non retracting seatbelt.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I own a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander that I purchased new on December 21, 2024. Since shortly after purchase, the vehicle has experienced ongoing problems involving the brakes, electrical system, and fuel fumes entering the passenger cabin. The most serious issue is the brake system. I have experienced hard braking, inconsistent brake response, brake warning lights, and at least one incident where the brakes suddenly failed and I had to take emergency action to stop the vehicle. The dealership has attempted multiple repairs, including replacing the brake booster, master cylinder, and other brake components, but the problem continues. The vehicle has also had repeated electrical problems, including warning lights, low-voltage issues, radio malfunctions, and steering wheel controls that stopped working. In addition, fuel fumes continue to enter the cabin while driving and when the vehicle is parked. The dealership has already replaced the fuel vapor canister and fuel filler neck, but the fuel odor persists. On June 13, 2026, I went to the emergency room because of symptoms related to inhaling the fuel vapors. I have reported these issues to both the dealership and Mitsubishi Motors North America on multiple occasions since the problems first began. Despite repeated repair attempts and ongoing communication, the defects remain unresolved. Based on the repeated failures, the number of repair visits, and the amount of time the vehicle has been out of service, I believe this vehicle qualifies as a lemon. The vehicle has been in the repair shop numerous times and has been out of service for approximately 45 days. I am filing this complaint because I am concerned that the brake failures and fuel vapor intrusion could put me, my passengers, and other drivers at risk. I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible to prevent further safety and health risks.

WHEELS
I took my outlander in on May 6 2026 for routine oil change , tire rotation, basic multi inspection to bruce walters service (same company i bought it from new 15 months ago). Inspection was flawless with green light on tires, brakes, the works. It had approx 24k miles on it. When I left the dealer that day I noticed A LOT of roaring, slight vibration, worse when I cut wheel left. I called them and they could not inspect the car for 28 days , appt they made was june 2nd 2026. This only started when they rotated tires. At my appt yesterday, June 2nd, 2026 they charged me 150 diagnostic and said I need 4 new tires even though my tread was awesome. 25k miles on it by the time of this appt. I've owned it year and half. The tire walls are bad but green light on tread..all 4 tires. The mitsubishi lot said that shouldn't happen and sane companies service dept should have done something. But no, they are wanting me to pay almost 1k for new tires, a 25k mile brand new car should not need tires. Service dept blames brand of tires. They did not check, to my knowledge, suspension or shocks etc. Something caused a new car to do this or faulty tires , all 4 , not just 1 or 2.

The contact stated while driving the vehicle at 30 MPH she noted her tire pressure was very low, she pulled into a gas station to fill it with AIR, she drove the vehicle home, and next day the tire was flat again and was filled back up. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed to have pieces of tires coming off with no actual puncture of the tire. The tires were replaced at owners cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.

While on even a slight hill, sometimes the car rolls back if I am not moving forward. For example, if ai am stopped at a red light, the car will roll backwards (instead of not moving or going forward). It’s an automatic transmission so this should not occur. I.e. the transmission is already starting to go out b4 35k miles. There are also instances of one wheel “dragging” or delayed propulsion compared to the other wheel. It is very difficult to get in touch with a dealership for warranty info. I am in Berkeley and no one picks up the phone from the Fremont dealership or calls back when I leave a message.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
If headlights are in auto position or were on prior to car starting (I.e. they were left in on position last time car was on), the headlights sometimes do not turn on even though the headlight icon is illuminated. Basically, headlights sometimes say they are on even though they are not.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The music will all of a sudden start blasting, volume will randomly start increasing, phone calls (connected to car) will randomly end, voice activation will randomly activate on car. This can surprise driver and could cause an issue. For example, random metal music randomly turning on in the car can be unexpected. When a call ends randomly (caused by car system randomly ending) it could cause driver to divert focus from driving. I think these issues are related to the capacitive sensors on the steering wheel randomly activating without touch.

This is a significant safety issue because if someone is relying on a backup camera to maneuver, and a kid walks behind the car, the driver would not notice the kid if the screen froze. If the backup camera fails, a driver is blind and must either continue blind (as mirrors may not be adjusted for backing up) or must switch gears to go forward (which could also cause an accident since there is a delay in doing this and a car may be exposed on the street).
