What happened

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2018 Outlander Sport, Outlander PHEV, and Eclipse Cross vehicles, as well as 2017-2018 Outlander vehicles equipped with forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and/or electric parking brake systems. The software in the Hydraulic Unit Electronic Control Unit may be incorrect, which could prevent safety systems like automatic emergency braking, anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, or brake auto hold from functioning properly, potentially increasing crash risk.

Owners will be notified by Mitsubishi Motors North America, and dealers will update the Hydraulic Unit-ECU software at no cost. The recall began October 16, 2018. Affected consumers should contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820 and reference recall number SR-18-008 to arrange for the software update.
