Mitsubishi has issued a recall alert for about 17,000 2022 Outlander SUVs to correct a wiring problem that could cause their fuel pumps to shut down unexpectedly. Mitsubishi believes that as little as 1% of the recalled cars have the problem. But it needs to inspect them all to find the faulty ones.
In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company explains that some wires inside the pumps may not be fused correctly. A car with a failed fuel pump would not start or might stall while driving and not restart.
Dealers will inspect the pumps and replace them if necessary. Owners who have already paid to have their fuel pump replaced may be eligible for reimbursement.
Recall repairs are always free. Manufacturers attempt to contact every owner, but they don’t always reach them all with the news. Find out if your car has ever been recalled at our recall center.
