MITSUBISHI announced a problem with the Outlander GS45X affecting a total of 519 vehicles.
It is possible for the engine wiring harness to chaff on a security bracket. If this is allowed to continue, this could result in a short circuit in the starter motor circuit, which can cause the starter to operate whilst the vehicle is being driven. This will cause the starter to overheat and possibly cause a fire.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the affected vehicles to inspect and insulate the wiring if required.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest MITSUBISHI dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
