Mitsubishi Outlander Recall for Incorrect Rear Wheel Rim Size Label

Mitsubishi is recalling 2018-2019 Outlander vehicles with 18-inch alloy wheels because the certification label lists an incorrect rear wheel rim size.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a labeling error that creates a theoretical risk of improper maintenance leading to a crash, but no injuries or crashes have been reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels. The recall involves 14,791 vehicles.

The certification label on these vehicles lists an incorrect rear wheel rim size. This error means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." The incorrect information could lead an operator to replace the rim with an incorrect size, which increases the risk of a crash.

Mitsubishi will notify owners and send a corrected certification label free of charge. Owners may also choose to have the label replaced by a dealer at no cost. The recall began on September 26, 2018. Owners can contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
