What happened

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2014-2019 Outlander and 2018-2019 Outlander PHEV vehicles because the second-row center seat belt buckle may interfere with the right-side seat belt buckle when the seat backs are folded down. This interference can cause the right-side seat belt buckle cover to come off, rendering the buckle latch inoperable and unable to restrain an occupant in a crash, which increases the risk of injury.

Owners will be notified by MMNA, and dealers will modify the second-row center seat belt buckle cover, install a new warning label on the second-row seat support base, and provide a new warning label insert for the owner's manual at no charge. The recall began September 1, 2020. Owners can contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820, and the recall number is SR-20-004.
