What’s wrong with it?
A vehicle must comply with all regulatory requirements to ensure that it is safe.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
(Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured on December 3, 2010.
The affected vehicles are equipped with incorrect certification labels that were installed during manufacturing.
The incorrect labels do not have the correct vehicle identification numbers (VIN) printed on the label.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, “Certification.”

What the record doesn’t say

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
