BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Outlander and 2023 Outlander PHEV vehicles.

A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander 4 out of 5 stars overall. NHTSA does not publish enough comparable results for this class and year to rank it against peers.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 17.9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.
