What Happened
The gas spring cylinders in your vehicle's liftgate help hold it open. Over time, they can corrode and weaken, which can cause a serious safety issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If the gas spring cylinders fail, the liftgate could drop suddenly, causing injury to you or others nearby.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will replace the left and right liftgate gas springs with new, corrosion-resistant ones at no cost to you. You'll receive a notice on June 17, 2026, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
