In the 2016 recall, Mitsubishi recalleda hundred,000 model year 2007-2013 Outlanders with windshield wipers
that failed because water was entering between the hood and windshield, causing
corrosion of the wiper link ball joints.
Another 95,000 model year 2011-2015 Outlander Sports were
recalled because wiper motors were failing due to water that dropped between
the hoods and the windshields into the breathing holes of the wiper motors,
again causing the motors to corrode.
The recall begins today, July 28, 2017. Mitsubishi dealers
will replace the wiper motors in the Outlanders, but owners with questions can
also call them and make reference to the recall number.
