Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling 121,529 vehicles, including certain 2018-2022 Outlander PHEV and 2014-2020 Outlander models. The liftgate gas spring cylinders in these vehicles can corrode and lose pressure, which may cause the cylinders to rupture or cause the liftgate to fall unexpectedly. Mitsubishi dealers will replace both the left and right liftgate gas springs free of charge to resolve this safety issue. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.
The liftgate gas spring cylinders may corrode and burst or fail to support the weight of the liftgate. If a cylinder ruptures or the liftgate falls suddenly while someone is behind the vehicle, it increases the risk of serious injury.
Free replacement of liftgate gas springs.
