## What is wrong

MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 21,493 MY 2007\-2008 OUTLANDER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LED TYPE STOP LAMPS AND DISTRIBUTED IN THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO.    THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH MAY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE STOP LAMPS TO NOT ILLUMINATE DURING BRAKE APPLICATION.


## What can happen

THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WILL NOT PROVIDE WARNING TO FOLLOWING TRAFFIC AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STOP LAMP SWITCH.  THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING FEBRUARY 2009.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1\-800\-222\-0037.
