PARKING BRAKE Safety Recalls

Critical #20V741000 Plain English
Component

PARKING BRAKE

Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
There's a problem with the rust prevention coating on the parking brake shafts in your 2016 Outlander or Outlander Sport. This coating might have been damaged during assembly, allowing water to get in and cause the shafts to corrode.
Risk if Unfixed
If the parking brake shafts corrode, they could bind, making it hard for the parking brake to work properly. This means your car could roll away, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Don't worry, this is free! The dealership will replace the entire rear brake caliper assembly for you, and they'll do it at no cost to you. You've already been notified by mail with a letter dated May 4, 2021.

Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will inspect the brake system and replace any rusty or faulty parts, including the parking brake boot, lever, and caliper. These repairs are completely free, and you should schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice.
