What Happened
The liftgate on your Outlander or Outlander PHEV is held up by gas spring cylinders. These cylinders can break down over time and lose pressure, causing the liftgate to fall unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the gas spring cylinders fail, the liftgate could fall without warning, potentially injuring you or a passenger. You could also damage your vehicle or surrounding objects.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will replace the liftgate gas springs with new ones, free of charge. You'll get a recall notice in the mail, but you can also check your VIN on NHTSA.gov to see if your vehicle is affected.
