What this recall means for you
Certain 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vehicles built on December 3, 2010 have certification labels that were installed with incorrect information. The labels do not show the correct vehicle identification number (VIN). Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal certification labeling requirements under 49 CFR Part 567.
The notice states the consequence is that a vehicle must comply with all regulatory requirements to ensure it is safe. The labeling defect itself is a compliance problem rather than a reported mechanical failure, but owners should still have the recall completed.
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install corrected certification labels free of charge. Owners can contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 (recall number SR-15-010), and you can check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA's website.
