Details
What's wrong: Mitsubishi motors north america, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2013 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured June 11, 2012, through September 11, 2012. These vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment," and fmvss number 114, "theft protection." The brake stop lamps may illuminate…
Why it matters: If the brake lamps do not illuminate properly other vehicles may not know when the vehicle is stopping. This could increase the risk of a crash. If the shift lever is moved from park without using the brake, the vehicle may roll causing personal injury.
The fix: Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will correct the installation of the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2013.
