The camera does not activate when the car is put into reverse. It also doesn't activate when you are parking the car. The parking camera doesn't show on the screen at all. The recall on this item was repaired on my car but didn't fix the issue and the dealer refused to service it further without significant cost. This is a fundamental safety issue that should be addressed by recall and repaired without cost to the owner. The dealership that serviced a previous recall was Doug Smith Mitsubishi in American Fork Utah, however this didn't fix the issue. I also paid money for a diagnostic service and the service center could not determine why the camera is not triggering. The warning sounds/alerts still work. Please help. Thanks

Check engine light is on. My car is still under 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. My local mitsubishi dealership closed and the nearest one is hours away. I also have a recall. I have called mitsubishi customer service several times only to be put on hold without the ability to talk to someone to get these problems solved.

“Since April, I’ve had an issue with the caliper in my car, and as of today, October 16, Victory Mitsubishi still hasn’t resolved it. I went back on July 4, and they told me they ordered the parts, but they’ve been on backorder since then. I’m still waiting, and my car’s brakes feel rough, plus the noise is really annoying.”

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW GLASS AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW GLASS CRACK ON INTERSTATE 40. THIS HAS BEEN WHILE EXITING THE BRIDGE EASTBOUND AT THE EXIT FOR INTERSTATE 74 TO HIGH POINT. THERE IS AN ODD BUMP EXITING THE BRIDGE IN THE LEFTHAND LANE. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE GLASS HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED. SAFELITE AUTO GLASS HAS STATED THAT THE GLASS APPEARS TO BE INFERIOR IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT CRACK. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT SO DOESN'T HAVE ANY UNNECESSARY WEAR AND TEAR.

Jun 2, 2025

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles. 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 Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the A-IVI software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 30, 2025. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-25-001.
