2022 Mitsubishi Outlander recalls

Recall 25V-369: Back Over Prevention

Reported Jun 2, 2025 · 198,940 vehicles affected · Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

Problem: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles.

Risk: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will update the A-IVI software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 30, 2025. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-25-001.

Service Brakes · reported Nov 3, 2026
Bought this used 2022 Outlander from Carvana Sept 10, 2026 at 58,350 miles for family use. A chain-like rattle began shortly after delivery. An authorized Mitsubishi dealer's R/O 6116238, open Sept 22/closed Sept 30, mileage in 58,939/out 58,940, confirms the RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS MISSING THE BOLTS CONNECTING IT TO ITS SLIDE PINS. New guide pins/bolts were installed and the noise was gone on a test drive. I report paperwork showed Carvana brake work before delivery. Please investigate whether this condition resulted from pre-delivery repair or failed inspection; the records do not identify…
Engine · reported Oct 29, 2026
1. Engine Motor Mount. Yes, it is available for inspection. 2. Malfunctions to engine due to the unstable enforcement of engine. 3. Unknown if a reproduced issue. I've owned several vehicles and have never had to replace the motor mounts. In additon this vehicle is a 2022 (4 Years). 4. Yes, it has been inspected by a reputable automotive establishment. I've been provided an estimate for repairs. 5. Yes, I started hearing a knock sound January 8, 2026. I presumed it was shock wear related. But determined to be the motor mount.
Electrical System · reported Oct 15, 2026
I am writing to escalate a severe safety violation by my dealership regarding my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. My infotainment screen is freezing and looping black, which leaves me without a functioning rearview safety camera. I brought the vehicle in for Safety Recall SR-25-001 (NHTSA Campaign 25V369), but the software update failed. The dealership is now refusing to order a replacement radio unit, claiming my car is "not covered due to mileage." Safety recalls do not have mileage limits, and this defect is explicitly covered under TSB 2554002 (the 7-year, unlimited-mileage warranty extension…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Sep 22, 2026
While operating my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, a strong raw gasoline odor began entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC vents. The odor is present while driving but becomes significantly stronger when the vehicle is stopped and idling. After the engine is turned off, the gasoline odor gradually improves. The condition has occurred repeatedly. I am concerned about occupants being exposed to gasoline vapors inside the passenger compartment and the potential safety risk associated with fuel vapors being present during normal vehicle operation. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership…
Structure · reported Sep 22, 2026
The hood on my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has visibly fluttered, shaken and bounced while driving since I purchased the vehicle used on March 15, 2024, with approximately 80,000 miles. This has been an ongoing condition throughout my ownership, not a single isolated incident. The movement is especially noticeable at highway speeds and can be clearly seen from inside the vehicle while driving. I am concerned that the amount of hood movement could present a safety risk while the vehicle is being operated. I contacted a Mitsubishi dealership regarding the hood flutter and was told they were not…
