Recall 08V094000: Seat Harness Routing
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Mitsubishi/Outlander 2007-2008
MANUFACTURER: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
MFR'S REPORT DATE: February 21, 2008
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V094000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A
COMPONENT: Seats
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 5400
SUMMARY:
Mitsubishi is recalling 5,400 M/Y 2007-2008 Outlander passenger vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and The District of Columbia. For vehicles without an electric power
seat, the floor harness connector for the power seat is placed directly on the floorboard underneath the carpeting (vehicles with power seats already have
the harness elevated). If a vehicle occupant enters the vehicle with a sufficient amount of snow on their feet containing road salt, it is possible for the
melted snow mixture to soak the carpet and allow the salt-water solution to come into contact with the unused power seat harness connector.
CONSEQUENCE:
The connector terminal may corrode and allow current to flow, resulting in the gradual heating and melting of the connector and may result in a fire.
REMEDY:
Dealers will relocate the floor harness from beneath both the passenger and driver seats to above the carpet and away from the bottom of the floorboard
to prevent contact with any future melt solution. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Mitsubishi
at 1-800-222-0037.
NOTES:
Customers may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153),
