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.
