Proof Required?

Mitsubishi has issued a major safety recall affecting more than 108,000 vehicles in the United States due to a serious liftgate defect. The problem involves faulty gas spring cylinders that support the rear liftgate, which could cause the liftgate to fall unexpectedly and potentially injure someone. If you own one of the affected Mitsubishi vehicles, you may be entitled to a free repair from the manufacturer. This recall addresses a safety issue that poses a real risk of injury to drivers, passengers, and anyone near the vehicle when the liftgate is open.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

You own or lease one of the affected Mitsubishi vehicles (specific models and years details pending from manufacturer)
Your vehicle is among the 108,000+ units recalled in the United States
You have experienced issues with your liftgate falling unexpectedly or not staying open properly
You have documentation showing you own or lease the recalled vehicle

How Much Can You Get?

Vehicle recalls typically provide free repairs to fix the safety defect. Mitsubishi will likely cover the cost of replacing the faulty gas spring cylinders at no charge to vehicle owners. The exact details of what repairs will be provided and any potential reimbursement for previous repairs are still being determined. If you've already paid out of pocket to fix this liftgate issue before the recall was announced, you may be eligible for reimbursement of those repair costs.
