What happened

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2013 Outlander vehicles with 6-speed automatic transmissions, as well as 2007-2012 Outlander vehicles that had replacement 6-speed automatic transmissions installed during service. These vehicles have insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the transmission's converter housing, which can cause the tube to develop a hole and leak power steering fluid over time.

If power steering fluid leaks from the affected tube, drivers could lose steering assistance, which increases the risk of a crash. To remedy this issue, Mitsubishi will notify owners and replace the power steering pressure tube and return tube at no charge through authorized dealers. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 and reference recall number SR-14-006 to determine if their vehicle is included and to schedule service.
