Caption: Mitsubishi Recalls Nearly 92,000 Outlanders Over Rear Hatch Danger. Mitsubishi is recalling 91,697 Outlander SUVs in the U.S. due to liftgate safety issues that could cause the rear hatch to fall unexpectedly. The recall affects 2018–2022 Outlander plug-in hybrid models and 2014–2020 Outlanders, sold or registered in 27 states and Washington, D.C. NHTSA officials warn that liftgate gas spring cylinders may corrode and lose pressure, especially in colder states using road salt, risking injury. Mitsubishi dealerships will replace both liftgate gas springs at no cost using redesigned cylinders with anti-corrosion protection. Owners can check if their vehicle is affected by entering their VIN in NHTSA’s online recall tool; notifications start October 6. Separately, Stellantis issued a recall of around 130,000 Citroën and DS vehicles due to defective Takata airbags that could rupture in a crash. The affected Stellantis models include Citroën C3 (2009–2019), DS3 (2009–2019), C4 (2010–2011), DS4 (2010–2011), and DS5 (2010–2013), requiring immediate repairs. Stellantis faces further recall challenges with engine issues in Peugeot models, compounding the safety concerns for the multinational automaker.
