Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Outlander and 2026 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to improper software programming, the Alliance In-Vehicle Infotainment (A-IVI) system may fail to display the rearview camera image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to a software error in the in-vehicle infotainment system (A-IVI), the rearview camera image may freeze, or not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
My 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has experienced recurring, severe powertrain failures causing a dangerous 'PHEV System Fault / Power Reduced' limp mode at highway speeds, dropping instantly from 60+ MPH to severely restricted speeds. This creates an immediate risk of a high-speed rear-end collision. The vehicle is currently fully dismantled at Jidd Motors Mitsubishi while technicians execute an extensive internal mechanical teardown of the engine's valve cover and cylinder valvetrain assembly to look for top-end structural damage. The vehicle has been non-functional and out of service for 38 days with no fix in site and at this point no communication from Mitsubishi.

I rented this car from Drivo on July 17th. On the 21st we noticed the tire light. When we went to the garage to get this checked the two rear tires were bald, with the wires showing through the tires. We have photos of this, and a statement from the garage that the tires were in an illegal/unroadworthy condition. Despite raising this in many emails with the company, Drivo/Ace, nobody has made any response to our safety concerns. I think that this car may still be in an unroadworthy condition.

The contact owns a 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH and pulling into the neighborhood through the slow-access gate, while the vehicle was approximately one foot from the gate, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The vehicle crashed into the gate, causing the iron rails to detach. The contact was standing on the brake pedal with excessive force while attempting to steer the vehicle. The steering wheel was turned, and the vehicle suddenly came to a stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries. A police report was not filed. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact called a tow truck company, and the vehicle was towed to the local dealer. After several days, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure after performing several system scans. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The insurance company was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was towed to a body shop. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.
When driving with the adaptive cruise control on, the cruise will shut off without notice at random times. The forward collision warning light then comes on. After driving for some time the light will go out and the adaptive cruise will work again. This repeats many times on a trip randomly. This also leaves the vehicle without forward collision protection and automatic emergency braking. This is very dangerous at highway speed when you lose power driving with traffic. When reported to the dealer, they said it was a known issue without a solution and to not use the adaptive cruise and drive carefully without the forward collision protection active. This has been an issue since the car was new in November of 2024.

I was parked in a parking spot and when returned to my car and turned my car on a loud bang came from the front of the vehicle. Both of my front tires were facing inward. The drivers side front tie rod snapped with a clean break for no reason. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where after inspection there was no obvious reason for this to happen, no damage to the tire, aluminum wheel, or any other component under the car. There was no warning of any kind, the vehicle was driving perfectly smooth and not pulling to one side just before this happened. The vehicle and damaged tie rod are available for inspection. Needless to say If i were driving at highway speeds there could have been catastrophic injury. As of right now Mitsubishi only viewed pictures, I asked them to inspect the vehicle but they did not. I would prefer NHTSA inspect the tie rods because if this happened while parked the tie rod could be defective and dangerous.
