What is being recalled
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling one 2022 Outlander vehicle. A software programming error with a welding robot may have caused the vehicle's center pillar to be welded incorrectly.

Why it is dangerous
In the event of a crash, the reduced strength of the vehicle body may increase the risk of injury.
