## What is wrong

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(Mitsubishi\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2015 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured July 20, 2012, to July 23, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the front passenger seat belt lap end attachment fastener may not be torqued to specification, and the fastener may loosen with time.


## What can happen

A loosened and weakened fastener may not be capable of withstanding the load forces associated with a vehicle crash, leaving the seat occupant insufficiently restrained and increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt lap end attachment fastener, free of charge.  The recall began on December 1, 2014.  Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1\-714\-372\-6000.  Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR\-14\-011.


## 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.
