| Overall Safety Rating |
Frontal crash ratings: Driver: No Test Passenger: No Test Side crash ratings: Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags. NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING:  The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars). |
2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Review
"Mitsubishi enters the compact-SUV fray with a new wagon based on its Lancer subcompact car. Outlander is slightly longer overall than most SUVs in the compact class, though no taller or wider. It seats five and its only powertrain is a 140-hp 4-cyl engine and 4-speed automatic transmission with a separate gate for manual shifting. Front- or all-wheel-drive versions are offered. Outlander is not intended for serious off-road use, and its AWD lacks low-range gearing. Base LS and uplevel XLS trim levels are offered. Optional features limited to the XLS include front side airbags, ABS, a sunroof, and leather upholstery. All Outlanders come with 16-inch wheels; 60/40 split folding rear seatbacks; air conditioning; CD audio; cruise control; and power windows, locks, and mirrors. The XLS adds alloy wheels, a roof rack, rear spoiler, fog lamps, and clear taillamp lenses. Inside, the XLS is distinguished by white-faced instrumentation, see-through headrests, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. "

| Summary | Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2002-2007 Lancer, 2004 Lancer Wagon, 2003-2006 Lancer Evolution, 2003-2006 Outlander and 2007-2013 Outlander V-6 vehicles originally sold in, or ever registered in, 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. In the affected vehicles, the front lower control arms may detach due to the front cross member corroding from salt water exposure such as from road salt use. |
| Consequence | A detached front control arm can result in the loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. |
| Remedy | MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front cross members. Depending on the level of existing corrosion, either a sealing/anti-corrosion agent will be applied or the front cross member will be replaced with a new one that has a sealing/anti-corrosion agent applied to it. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-16-003. |
| Notes | 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.safercar.gov. |
