STRUCTURE Safety Recalls

Standard NHTSA Filing #26V252000 Plain English
Component

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT

Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
The liftgate support struts in your Outlander are the metal rods that help open and close the rear window. In certain 2018-2022 Outlander PHEV and 2014-2020 Outlander models, these rods can corrode and lose pressure, making them unstable.
Risk if Unfixed
If the struts fail, the liftgate could suddenly fall or drop while you're opening or closing it, which can cause injury if someone is nearby.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will replace the faulty liftgate struts with new ones, free of charge. Since you should have received a letter on June 17, 2026, contact your dealer now to confirm repair availability and schedule the replacement.
