What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the glass roof may detach, posing a significant road hazard to other vehicles, which aligns with the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured between August 26, 2010, and March 29, 2011. The recall addresses a defect in the panoramic glass roof assembly where primer may not have been applied before the adhesive was used.

Without the primer, the adhesion of the panoramic glass roof may be reduced. This could allow the glass roof to detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard to other vehicles. The recall began on July 8, 2013, under Mitsubishi recall number SR-13-007.

Dealers will inspect the panoramic glass to determine if primer was installed. If primer is not present, the glass will be reinstalled. Owners may contact Mitsubishi Motors North America at 1-888-648-7820 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
