Steering: hydraulic power assist: hose, piping, and connections

Power train: transfer case (4-wheel drive)
- What is wrong
- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2009 Outlander vehicles. During servicing, the affected vehicles were repaired with replacement transfer case assemblies whose oil seal may come out of position.

For vehicles without an electric power seat, the floor harness connector for the power seat is placed directly on the floorboard underneath the carpeting (vehicles with power seats already have the harness elevated). If a vehicle occupant enters the vehicle with a sufficient amount of snow on their feet containing road salt, it is possible for the melted snow mixture to soak the carpet and allow the salt-water solution to come into contact with the unused power seat harness connector.
- Risk
- The connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector and may result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will relocate the floor harness from beneath both the passenger and driver seats to above the carpet and away from the bottom of the floorboard to prevent contact with any future melt solution. The recall began on april 7, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1‑800‑222‑0037.

Electrical system: wiring: interior/under dash
- What is wrong
- On certain sport utility vehicles, water could enter the front floorboard area from openings in the side sill or upper dash area.

- Risk
- Electrical corrosion of the harness could cause the seat belt pre-tensioner to malfunction, the side air bag not to deploy and/or the brake lamps not to illuminate or to falsely illuminate.
