Problem description:
Due to low sulfidation corrosion resistance of the airflow sensor and to the sulfur gas evaporation from the intake rubber hose, the internal resistor of the airflow sensor might corrode and disconnect.
As a result, the vehicle will run out of battery and suddenly stop, increasing the risk of an accident.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Model year 2014 vehicles are affected by this recall.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a Mitsubishi dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
