What is being recalled
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Outlander vehicles manufactured December 15, 2006, to October 31, 2007, and April 16, 2008, to August 22, 2009. In the affected vehicles, the brake light switch may malfunction causing the brake lights to not illuminate during brake application.
Why it is dangerous
Brake lights that are inoperative would not warn other drivers that the vehicle is stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake light switch with a new one, free of charge. The recall began in mid-October 2014. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-010. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 08V-680 and does not include any vehicles that were previously recalled.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-564 when calling a dealer.
