VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
If the sunroof glass detaches from the assembly while driving, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 175 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.
If the sunroof glass detaches from the assembly while driving, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the wiper motor can cause a loss of visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Loss of wiper function can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
A detached front control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Brake lights that are inoperative would not warn other drivers that the vehicle is stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the oil seal dislodges, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) may enter the transfer case assembly, reducing the ATF pressure in the transmission, resulting in poor transmission shifting or the inability of the vehicle to be driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDERs 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.
