Mitsubishi Recalls Over 90K Outlander Vehicles for Faulty Liftgate Gas Spring Cylinders

Mitsubishi Motors has recalled over 90,000 vehicles due to a defect in the liftgate gas spring cylinders, reports USA TODAY.

Issued on Aug. 7, the recall covers certain 2018 to 2022 Outlander PHEV and 2014 to 2020 Outlander models, affecting 91,697 vehicles.

According to NHTSA, a fault in the liftgate gas spring cylinders may cause corrosion and loss of pressure, leading to a rupture and the liftgate unexpectedly falling.

Vehicles under the recall were sold and/or currently registered in 27 states and the District of Columbia. Owners are expected to be mailed on Oct. 6, with dealers instructed to replace the left and right liftgate gas springs.
