STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
A detached front control arm can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
10 safety recall campaigns, 59 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

A detached front control arm can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Loss of wiper function can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
If the parking brake actuator shaft binds, the parking brake may not engage or disengage fully. If the parking brake does not engage properly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly if it is parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the wiper motor can cause a loss of visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
A loosened and weakened fastener may not be capable of withstanding the load forces associated with a vehicle crash, leaving the seat occupant insufficiently restrained and increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2013 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
