Independent model research guide
Use this page as a document-building path for the exact vehicle—not as a substitute for its warranty, VIN record, final repair orders, or legal advice based on the facts.
Badges and model names do not always identify the complete drivetrain or warranty package. Confirm the build data and coverage before comparing another vehicle’s history.
Model-aware documentation
These are investigation prompts, not statements that the model has each problem. Select only the categories that match the actual vehicle and repair orders.
Record charger type, location, temperature, error message, charge rate, cable used, and whether another charger was tested.
Preserve range or state-of-charge readings, battery warnings, reduced-power events, module data, and thermal-system findings.
Record the operating conditions, warning messages, speed, temperature, and whether the concern returned after repair.
Note hesitation, harsh engagement, slipping, vibration, or loss of response and the exact conditions in which it occurs.
Identify update or calibration numbers, failed features, reset attempts, and whether the same symptom returned after programming.
Save photographs of warning lights, no-start events, battery replacements, diagnostic codes, and modules tested or replaced.
Vehicle safety and service records
Find your model year, distinguish a safety recall from a service bulletin or owner report, and compare the records with your vehicle’s VIN, equipment, and repair history.

Model year 2021
The 2021 Outlander PHEV index includes 2 distinct safety campaigns, covering body and closures. 52 manufacturer communications are organized separately below so workshop instructions are not mistaken for confirmed owner failures. Start with any applicable safety instructions, then match the service documents and reported conditions to the actual repair orders.
Safety recall
The campaign addresses injury risk involving the listed component. Its applicability is limited to the affected vehicles and equipment described by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc..
Reported condition: “The liftgate gas spring cylinders may corrode and lose pressure, which can result in a gas spring cylinder rupture or the liftgate falling unexpectedly.”
Applicability in the source: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Outlander PHEV and 2014-2020 Outlander vehicles sold and/or currently registered in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Remedy and status excerpt: MMNA will replace the left and right liftgate gas springs, free of charge. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-25-002
A model-year match does not establish that this VIN is affected or still unrepaired. Keep the campaign number, dealer repair order, and completion date together.

Agency record · Closed
The 2021 Outlander PHEV is listed in this investigation record. An investigation concerns an agency inquiry; its opening is not a final defect determination, and closure alone is not a finding that every vehicle is safe or repaired.
Agency summary excerpt: “NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under …”
On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

The indexed entry does not supply the principal star-rating values shown in this review. An equipment listing is not a crash-test rating.
These results belong to the stated model year and configuration. Do not transfer them to a different body style, drivetrain, or trim. A rating does not resolve whether a particular vehicle has an open recall or recurring repair condition.
NHTSA safety-rating dataset — 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, SUV · AWD
Model year 2025
The 2025 Outlander PHEV index includes 1 distinct safety campaign, covering visibility, cameras, and driver assistance. Owner-report entries are most numerous in equipment and other reported systems (2) and brakes and stability control (1). 36 manufacturer communications are organized separately below so workshop instructions are not mistaken for confirmed owner failures. Start with any applicable safety instructions, then match the service documents and reported conditions to the actual repair orders.
Safety recall
The campaign addresses crash risk involving the listed component. Its applicability is limited to the affected vehicles and equipment described by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc..
Reported condition: “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 …”
Applicability in the source: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles.
Remedy and status excerpt: Dealers will update the A-IVI software, free of charge. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-25-001. This recall replaces and expands previous NHTSA recall number 23V345. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V345 will need to have the new remedy completed.
A model-year match does not establish that this VIN is affected or still unrepaired. Keep the campaign number, dealer repair order, and completion date together.

Repair chronology
Place the final repair orders in date and mileage order. Compare the customer complaint, technician findings, correction, and post-repair result instead of relying only on a dealer summary or online discussion.
Do not combine multiple visits into one estimate. Open and close dates, mileage, parts delays, diagnostic time, and the date the vehicle was actually available can answer different questions.
California legal framework
California Civil Code section 1793.2 addresses warranty repair obligations and, in specified circumstances, replacement or restitution after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Section 1793.22 defines the Tanner presumption and “nonconformity.” Those provisions require a fact-specific analysis.
Identify the written coverage in effect when the concern was presented.
Show when and how the manufacturer or authorized facility received the vehicle.
Document the effect on use, value, or safety rather than relying on labels.
Compare restitution, replacement, negotiated resolutions, offsets, and supporting damages.
Warranty and escalation record
A manufacturer warranty, certified coverage, dealer promise, and separately purchased service contract may have different obligors and terms. Preserve each document instead of calling all coverage an “extended warranty.”
Save every Mitsubishi dealer message, repair authorization, parts-delay explanation, manufacturer case number, and written response. A phone call may matter, but a dated email, text, or letter usually makes the sequence easier to prove.

Clear answers
It may, but the model name alone does not decide eligibility. A review should match the exact vehicle to an applicable written warranty and examine the repair opportunities, recurring nonconformity, mileage, downtime, and effect on use, value, or safety.
There is no universal count that decides every case. California’s Tanner presumption describes specific circumstances, but claims can require a broader analysis of whether the manufacturer had a reasonable opportunity to repair the warranty problem.
No. Recall, campaign, complaint, or bulletin information may provide context, but it does not prove the condition exists in this vehicle or establish a lemon law claim. Use VIN-specific information and the actual repair record.
Keep the purchase or lease agreement, warranty booklet, every final repair order, current registration and payoff information, photographs or videos, towing and rental records, and dealer or manufacturer messages and case numbers.
Possibly. The answer depends on the transaction, vehicle history, warranty that applied, timing of the repair visits, and other facts. A used or leased vehicle should be evaluated from its own documents.
Depending on the facts and current law, possible outcomes can include restitution or repurchase, replacement, a negotiated cash resolution, warranty relief, incidental damages, or other remedies. No particular outcome is guaranteed.
