NHTSA Recall 13V112000
Filed by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.. Component: Electrical System. Reported 2013-03-29. An estimated 3,724 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2013 Outlander Sport AWD vehicles manufactured June 11, 2012, through December 11, 2012. These vehicles may have been built without a fuel sending unit harness for the sub-sending unit. This may result in a false fuel tank level reading.
Risk
The vehicle operator may believe they have fuel when the tank is actually empty. This could cause the engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will install the proper fuel sending harness, free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2013. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's campaign recall number is SR-13-005.
Manufacturer campaign number: SR-13-005
