Defect description

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles.

Safety 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.

This recall replaces and expands previous NHTSA recall number 23V345. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V345 will need to have the new remedy completed.
