Recalls for 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE 2WD
2012 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT
NHTSA Campaign ID: 12V001000
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Manufacturer: MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Manufacture Dates: 11/09/2011 - 12/16/2011
Potential Units Affected: 21
Defect Description:
MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 OUTLANDER SPORT VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 9, 2011, THROUGH DECEMBER 16, 2011. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE TURN SIGNAL LEVERS IN THE VEHICLE WERE NOT MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE AUTO-CANCEL FUNCTION OF THE TURN SIGNAL BECOMING INOPERATIVE.
Consequence:
THE TURN SIGNAL MAY CONTINUE TO SIGNAL AN INTENDED DIRECTIONAL CHANGE AFTER A POINT WHEN THE AUTO-CANCEL FUNCTION, IF OPERATING PROPERLY, WOULD HAVE TERMINATED THE SIGNAL. A FOLLOWING OR ONCOMING DRIVER MAY RECEIVE INACCURATE INDICATIONS OF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR'S INTENDED MANEUVERS, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH BETWEEN VEHICLES DUE TO IMPROPER VEHICLE SIGNALING.
Action to take:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. NO VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RETAILED TO CUSTOMERS WITH THIS POTENTIAL CONDITION, NO RECALL BULLETIN OR OWNER LETTERS WILL BE PREPARED. YOU MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
2012 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT
NHTSA Campaign ID: 16V792000
Component: VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Manufacture Dates: 08/26/2010 - 06/01/2012
Potential Units Affected: 93801
Defect Description:
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured August 26, 2010, to January 5, 2015. In the affected vehicles, water may drop between the hood and the windshield and leak into the wiper motor breathing hole. The water may cause internal corrosion of the windshield wiper motor and the possible failure of the motor.
Consequence:
Failure of the wiper motor can cause a loss of visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Action to take:
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper motor, free of charge. The manufacturer has begun the recall, but parts are not yet available; a second notice will be sent when parts are available. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-010.
2012 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT

Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Manufacture Dates: 08/26/2010 - 06/01/2012
Potential Units Affected: 50228
Defect Description:
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

The lift gate support outer tube on the affected vehicles may have insufficient anti-corrosion treatment that can allow the outer tube to corrode due to salt and water penetration.
Consequence:
If the outer tube corrodes, there may be a rapid loss of the gas used to provide lift assistance, causing the lift gate to fall suddenly, increasing the risk of injury.
Action to take:
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lift gate supports, free of charge. The recall began on January 20, 2017. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-011.

Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Manufacture Dates: 08/26/2010 - 12/15/2011

The drive belt automatic tensioner flange may crack, allowing the accessory drive belt to detach.
Consequence:
If the drive belt detaches, the battery will discharge and the engine will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Action to take:
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the belt tensioner with one that has an improved shape, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 27, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-001.

Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Manufacture Dates: 08/26/2010 - 06/01/2012
Potential Units Affected: 158651
Defect Description:
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Outlander Sport vehicles. Water may enter between the hood and windshield and cause the front wiper link ball joint to corrode, possibly resulting in the wiper link separating and the wipers becoming inoperative.
Consequence:
Loss of wiper function can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Action to take:
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rod of the wiper link and the wiper motor crank arm, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 10, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-004.
