What This Recall Means

Component

TRAILER HITCHES

What Happened
Your vehicle might have a special wiring harness and control module installed for towing, which helps connect and control your trailer. This module is like a computer that helps your vehicle talk to your trailer.
Risk if Unfixed
If the module gets too hot, it could catch fire, putting you and others at risk. This is a serious safety issue, and you should take immediate action to prevent it.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will replace the old harness with a new, safer one, at no cost to you. Stop using the current harness until the new one is installed, and contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820 to schedule the repair.
