    FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

    Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Recall

    Recall 18V620000

    If the FCM-ECU software activates the brake for longer than necessary, the driver may react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of a rear-end collision.

  2. Recall

    Recall 18V621000

    If the safety systems do not function as intended, it can increase the risk of a crash.
