Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. has issued a safety recall affecting approximately 67,146 vehicles. The recall was filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on August 25, 2026 under campaign number 26V549000.
The Defect
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Outlander and 2026 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to improper software programming, the Alliance In-Vehicle Infotainment (A-IVI) system may fail to display the rearview camera image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The Risk
A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Remedy
Dealers will update the A-IVI software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 24, 2026. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-26-002. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.

A recall repair is free — but if your Mitsubishi has been in the shop repeatedly, or the fix has not held, you may have a lemon law claim worth far more than the repair. See our Mitsubishi problems and recalls hub or get a free case review.
