PURPOSE
This Safety Recall Bulletin provides instructions for inspecting the 2nd-row RH-side
(passenger side) seat belt shoulder anchor. If necessary, the seat belt will be replaced.

BACKGROUND
Due to inappropriate manufacturing process at the supplier, the guide piece (which is a
component part of the second row seat belts’ anchorage) for the left side seat belt was
mistakenly assembled with the right side seat belt, causing seat belt restraint efficiency for
vehicle occupants to decrease in a vehicle collision, increasing the risk of injury.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2020 Outlander vehicles
Certain 2020 Outlander PHEV vehicles

IMPORTANT

Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is
sold/delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty
Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign. It is a
violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell/deliver a new motor vehicle or any new
or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the
notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
A letter will be sent to all owners of affected vehicles telling them to contact their local Authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have the 2nd-row RH-side shoulder anchor inspected. If the anchor
guide is found to be incorrect, the seat belt will be replaced.
