What is being recalled
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Outlander Sport vehicles. Water may enter between the hood and windshield and cause the front wiper link ball joint to corrode, possibly resulting in the wiper link separating and the wipers becoming inoperative.
Why it is dangerous
Loss of wiper function can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rod of the wiper link and the wiper motor crank arm, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 10, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-004.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-103 when calling a dealer.
