2012 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Recalls (6)

Campaign:: 12V001000 on 01/03/2012
Component:: Exterior lighting:turn signal
Manufactured:: 11/08/2011 - 12/15/2011
Affected:: 21
Defect:: Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2012 outlander sport vehicles, manufactured from november 9, 2011, through december 16, 2011. these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the turn signal levers in the vehicle were not manufactured correctly, which could result in the auto-cancel function of the turn signal becoming inoperative.
Consequence:: The turn signal may continue to signal an intended directional change after a point when the auto-cancel function, if operating properly, would have terminated the signal. a following or oncoming driver may receive inaccurate indications of the vehicle operator's intended maneuvers, thereby increasing the risk of a crash between vehicles due to improper vehicle signaling.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect the turn signal lever and replace it with a new one free of charge. no vehicles have been retailed to customers with this potential condition, no recall bulletin or owner letters will be prepared. you may contact mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
Notes:: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
