Manufacturer Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc.
Components SEAT BELTS
Potential Number of Units Affected 2,865
Summary
Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2022 Outlander vehicles. The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) in the right front, second-row right, and second-row left seat belt assemblies may deactivate before the seat belts are fully retracted, which can result in an unsecured child restraint system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 7, 2022. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-88-648-7820. MMNA’s number for this recall is SR-22-002.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

SEAT BELT AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR
(ALR) – SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
PURPOSE
This Campaign Bulletin provides instructions for the inspection of Lot ID numbers and production dates found on the passenger front and two outboard (left and right) 2nd row seat belts. If the Lot ID number matches (refer to page 4), seat belt(s) replacement is required. Old parts should be properly disposed of.
BACKGROUND
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function of the subject seat belt assemblies may deactivate before the webbing is fully retracted due to out of specification bearing plate located in the ALR. This condition, if it exists, does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208. If the ALR function deactivates while an affected seat belt is used to secure a child restraint seat, the child restraint seat may not be tightly secured, which increases risk of serious injury or death.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2022 Outlander vehicles
PLEASE NOTE: Safety Recall Campaign SR-21-007REV3 has similarities with this Safety Recall Campaign. The two recalls are different, affected vehicles were produced at different times, affected seat belt lot numbers are different, and caution should be used to prevent confusion.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
A letter will be sent to all owners of all potentially affected vehicles telling them to contact their local Authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer for an inspection of the affected seat belts and replacement if necessary.

Chronology :
Late February 2022, Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation (MMC) discovered an ALR functionality performance issue with certain seat belts on two Outlander vehicles at the Okazaki, Japan Plant. MMC and the supplier (Autoliv) began investigating this issue.
March 2022, MMC discovered the same issue on two more Outlander vehicles at the plant.
March – April 2022, the supplier provided their initial investigation results indicating the bearing plate in the suspect seat belts were manufactured out of specification. MMC began inspecting and if necessary, replacing the seat belts on all potentially affected vehicles in MMC’s possession. MMC continued investigations with the supplier, clarifying that the out of specification bearing plate was caused by inappropriate maintenance of an injection mould die at the subcomponent supplier. MMC also continued evaluating the scope of potentially affected seat belts.
May 10, 2022, MMC determined that a field action was necessary in the US, and advised Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) to conduct a non-compliance recall.
MMC is not aware of any warranty claims, or field reports related to this condition.

WARNING Be sure to check precautions and notes by referring to PRECAUTIONS for SEAT BELT and Removal and Installation of FRONT SEAT BELT and REAR SEAT BELT before work. 05/27/2022 Page 5 of 17 (5211/SR-22-002) PRECAUTION PRECAUTIONS The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front pas-senger for certain types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual. WARNING: Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation. • To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, it is recommended that all maintenance and repair be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. • Improper repair, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see “SRS AIR BAG”. • Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS WARNING: Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation. • When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition/power switch ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing serious injury. • When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service. • With the adoption of Auto ACC function, ACC power is automatically supplied by operating the Keyless operation key or remote keyless entry or by opening/closing the driver side door. In addition, ACC power is supplied even after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, i.e. ACC power is supplied for a certain fixed time. • When disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, turn off the ACC power before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, observing “How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” described below. CF1009KEAA00USA NOTE: Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition switch is turned OFF and ignition power supply is stopped. If the battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC detection or ECU data damage may occur. • For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch. If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be detected. • After installing the 12V battery, always check “Self Diagnosis Result” of all ECUs and erase DTC. The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error. Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER” Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal NOTE: NOTE: 05/27/2022 Page 6 of 17 (5211/SR-22-002) Disconnect 12V battery terminal according to instruction described below.

MITSUBISHI
MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. PO Box 689040 Franklin, TN 37068 This notice applies to your vehicle, . Date: June 2022 Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME, This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Reason for notice: Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has decided that certain 2022 Outlander vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.” The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function of the seat belt assemblies may deactivate before fully retracted. If the ALR function deactivates while an affected seat belt is used to secure a child restraint seat, the child restraint seat may not be tightly secured, which increases risk of serious injury or death. What you should do: Please contact your local Mitsubishi
Motors dealer and schedule an appointment to have the affected seat belt(s) inspected and replaced, if necessary, free of charge. When you bring your vehicle in, please show the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, the dealer will still perform this repair for your vehicle, free of charge. What your dealer will do: The dealership will inspect the lot number on the passenger front and two outboard (left and right) 2nd row seatbelts and replace the seatbelt(s), if necessary. How long will it take? The time needed for the inspection is approximately 15 minutes. The time needed for seat belt replacement, if necessary, is approximately 2 hours. The dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time, but every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience. If you experience any problem having your vehicle repaired promptly and/or at no charge, please inform us by calling the Mitsubishi
Customer Relations Department at 888-648-7820. Hours: Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Central Time) If, after contacting Mitsubishi

Motors US and Puerto Rico Dealer Principals, General Managers, Sales Managers, Service Managers, and Parts Managers RE: SEAT BELT AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR (ALR) – SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN ATIN NO. TIN-22-SR-002 **************************************************************************************** AFFECTED VEHICLES: Certain 2022 Outlander vehicles PURPOSE: A recall campaign will be released today for inspecting the lot number on the passenger front and two outboard (left and right) 2ⁿᵈ row seatbelts and replacing the seatbelt(s), if necessary, on certain 2022 Outlander vehicles built between February 2, 2022, and March 2, 2022. Do not sell or deliver any affected 2022 Outlander until this recall has been performed. This is a STOP SALE! Please check the Most Recent: Open Campaign List e-report to identify affected vehicles in your new vehicle inventory. The Recall Bulletin outlining the repair procedure will be available today on MEDIC and MDL. This is a new recall – the affected vehicle production dates and affected seat belt lot numbers are different from SR-21-007 which was released in September 2021. The bearing plate located in the ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor) may have been produced out of specification, causing the ALR function to deactivate before the webbing is fully retracted. This condition, if it exists, does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208. If the ALR function deactivates while an affected seatbelt is used to secure a child restraint seat, the child restraint seat may not be tightly secured, which increases risk of serious injury or death. Notification letters are scheduled to begin mailing to owners of affected vehicles in June 2022, requesting they contact their local Authorized Mitsubishi
dealership to schedule an appointment to have this recall performed. There will not be an allocation of parts – the remedy part numbers are the same as SR-21-007 and dealers should already have inventory. If additional parts are necessary, they are available at your facing PDC. Affected new vehicle inventory VINs can be reviewed on the Mitsubishi
Dealer Link in the Most Recent: Open Campaign List available under the service section of “e-reports.” Dealers must review the Warranty Superscreen to confirm if any vehicles in their new or used vehicle inventories are affected and complete this campaign prior to delivering them. When checking for applicability of this campaign (C2202R), please check for and complete any other open campaigns. Always obtain the customer’s approval before completing a campaign on a customer owned vehicle. 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. 05/27/2022 Page 1 of 4 (5212) SR-22-002 FAQs 1. Is this a stop sale? A. YES – 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. 2. Is this an expansion of Safety Recall SR-21-007 that was released in September 2021? A. No. Although there are some similarities to the previous recall – including the remedy part numbers, the vehicles affected by this recall were produced well after those affected by SR-21-007, the affected lot numbers are different, and the potential defect is not the same. 3. Why is Mitsubishi
conducting this recall? A. A bearing plate located in the ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor) may have been produced out of specification, which may result in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function of the subject seat belt assemblies deactivating before the webbing is fully retracted. In a case where this condition exists, it does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and increases risk of serious injury or death. 4. What is the safety risk? A. If the ALR function deactivates while an affected seatbelt is used to secure a child restraint seat, the child restraint seat may not be tightly secured, which increases risk of serious injury or death. 5. Are other functions of the subject seatbelts impacted? A. The ALR function is the only known defect with the affected seatbelt(s). 6. When would someone use the ALR mode? A. The ALR mode should only be used when installing a child restraint. 7. What if a someone properly utilizes the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system for child restraints. A. Child seats secured with LATCH are out of scope and passengers in child seats secured with LATCH are restrained without compromise. 8. What Mitsubishi
vehicles are affected by this recall? A. Certain 2022 Outlanders 05/27/2022 Page 2 of 4 (5212) 9. Are all 2022 Outlanders affected? A. NO – only certain vehicles manufactured within a specific timeframe POENTIALLY had subject seatbelts installed. 10. How do I know if a 2022 Outlander is affected? A. Check the VIN on the Superscreen – if it shows recall C2202 open, it is affected – a total of 2,865 model year 2022 Outlanders are affected in the U.S and Puerto Rico. 11. Are all seven seatbelts affected? A. NO – only the front passenger and 2nd row outboard (left and right) seatbelts are potentially affected. 12. Do we need to replace all the seatbelts on affected vehicles? A. NO – there are only certain lot numbers that need to be replaced –please follow the inspection procedures, determine the lot number, and only replace if the seatbelt(s) has an affected lot number. 13. If we find a seatbelt that has an affected lot number, do we automatically replace all 3? A. NO – the lot number must be inspected on all three seatbelts – only the specific seatbelt(s) with an affected lot number needs to be replaced. 14. Are there parts available? A. The remedy parts are currently available, and the part numbers are the same as SR-21-007. If you do not have stock on hand at your dealership, there is stock of these items at your facing PDC. This recall requires the dealership to check the VIN to ensure that it is included in the recall and then perform an inspection. If the inspection reveals that the part has an affected lot number, then the part is to be replaced. 15. When will customers be notified? A. Official customer notification letters are targeted to be mailed in June. 16. Many of the affected owners are new to the Mitsubishi
family and just recently purchased their new Outlander – what can we do to maximize their continued satisfaction with our dealership and Mitsubishi
? A. Mitsubishi
fully understands having a recall shortly after a new vehicle purchase can influence perceptions of the brand. Jointly with you – our dealer partners – we want to provide our customers with an exceptional service experience when having this recall completed. i. Mitsubishi
strongly encourages you to amplify your customer handling of these new Outlander owners by: 1. Showing empathy for the inconvenience of having to complete the recall and treat them with extra courtesy and respect 05/27/2022 Page 3 of 4 (5212) 2. Minimizing the inconvenience as much as possible a. Offer convenient appointment times and schedule appropriately b. Offer pickup and delivery if available c. Consider mobile repairs d. Utilize shuttle service or rideshare e. In case a subject seatbelt lot number is found on inspection, have 1-2 of each affected seatbelt on hand to complete a same day repair – your DPSM can provide stocking strategies based on the number of affected units in your area f. Make sure your waiting room is clean and fully equipped to provide a pleasant place for customers who may choose to wait g. Perform a quality check to ensure repairs are completed right the first time h. Deliver vehicle in cleaner condition than when it was when dropped off 05/27/2022 Page 4 of 4 (5212)
