The short answer

NHTSA received Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.’s report on Oct 31, 2016. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 27, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Failure of the wiper motor can cause a loss of visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

(MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured August 26, 2010, to January 5, 2015.

In the affected vehicles, water may drop between the hood and the windshield and leak into the wiper motor breathing hole.

The water may cause internal corrosion of the windshield wiper motor and the possible failure of the motor.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
