Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling approximately 108,046 vehicles, specifically 2014-2020 Outlander and 2018-2022 Outlander PHEV models. The gas springs that support the liftgate may corrode and lose pressure, which can cause the gas spring cylinder to rupture or the liftgate to fall unexpectedly. This defect can happen without warning while the liftgate is being used or while it is open. Mitsubishi will replace both the left and right liftgate gas springs with new parts at no cost to owners.
The liftgate gas spring cylinders can corrode over time, leading to a sudden loss of pressure. This can cause the heavy liftgate to fall unexpectedly or the cylinder itself to rupture, both of which significantly increase the risk of injury to anyone standing near the rear of the vehicle.
