ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Safety Recalls

Moderate #18V620000 Plain English
Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle's Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system, which helps prevent accidents by detecting pedestrians, has a software issue that causes it to brake for longer than necessary after a pedestrian is detected.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you might slam on the brakes to compensate, which could cause the vehicle to stop too quickly and increase the risk of a rear-end collision.
Free Fix
Don't worry - we've got you covered! Dealers will update the FCM system's software for free, so you can drive safely and confidently.

Original — What Happened
Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is recalling certain 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Outlander Sport, 2018-2019 Eclipse Cross, and 2017-2018 Outlander vehicles equipped with a Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system that detects pedestrians. Due to incorrect software, the FCM-ECU (Electronic Control Unit) may apply braking for longer than needed, even after a pedestrian is no longer detected.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the FCM-ECU software activates the brake for longer than necessary, the driver may react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of a rear-end collision.
Original — Remedy
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the FCM-ECU software with updated software, free of charge. The recall is began October 16, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-007.
