SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
- The defect
- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2022 Outlander vehicles. The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) in the right front, second-row right, and second-row left seat belt assemblies may deactivate before the seat belts are fully retracted, which can result in an unsecured child restraint system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 7, 2022. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-88-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-22-002.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,865 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mitsubishi vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 5 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V596000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 212 complaints with NHTSA, 58 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V369000 (back over prevention), 23V345000 (back over prevention), 22V470000 (back over prevention), 22V027000 (fuel system, gasoline).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. with NHTSA on May 13, 2022 as campaign 22V335000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
