Rear-visibility system issue
BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Outlander and 2023 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to a software error in the in-vehicle infotainment system (A-IVI), the backup camera rearview image may not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

How this compares
At 52 MPG combined, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Phev ranks 1st of 5 standard SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2023 — 30 MPG better than the 22 MPG median for that group.
That places it in the upper third of its class. Fuel cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor against its direct rivals.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,350, $1,250 less than the $3,600 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $11,750, a $6,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 115 grams per mile — about 1.7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
