NHTSA recall 20V403000
Seat Belts · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Mitsubishi motors north america, Inc. (mmna) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Outlander and 2018-2019 Outlander Phev vehicles. The second-row center seat belt buckle may interfere with the right-side seat belt buckle when the seat backs are folded down. The interference may cause the right-side seat belt buckle cover to come off, making the buckle latch inoperable and unable to restrain an occupant.
Why it matters: An unrestrained occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Mmna will notify owners, and dealers will modify the second-row center seat belt buckle cover, install a new warning label to the second-row seat support base, and provide a new warning label insert for the owner's manual, free of charge. The recall began September 1, 2020.
