Mitsubishi Recalls
Check open Mitsubishi recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Mitsubishi recall lookups work
When you enter a Mitsubishi VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Mitsubishi dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Mitsubishi recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Mitsubishi authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Mitsubishi recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 22V563000
Power train: CVT control-unit software
2019-2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with the CVT and mechanical-key ignition
A software error in the CVT control unit could wrongly reduce the transmission gear ratio at high speed, which can stall the engine and raise crash risk. Mitsubishi dealers update the CVT-ECU software at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 20V280000
Seat belts: second-row right-side belt
2019-2020 Mitsubishi Outlander and 2019 Outlander PHEV
The right-side second-row seat belt may have been assembled incorrectly, so it might not restrain the occupant properly and could increase injury risk in a crash. Mitsubishi dealers inspect that seat belt and replace it as needed at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Mitsubishi also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
