22/23 Outlander recall

did you guys see this yet? i believe I may have actually experienced the blackout...

From Jalopnik:
The issue with Outlanders is, conveniently, a software one. According to Mitsubishi’s NHTSA recall filing, the problem occurs when the Outlander is shifted into reverse immediately after starting — within 40 seconds of the infotainment booting up. After six or more seconds spent in reverse, the car’s backup camera can go black for a short period.

The blackout is described as “momentary,” so it’s unlikely to have any kind of catastrophic impact on your next parallel parking job. It is, however, a violation of the laws requiring backup cameras on all new U.S. cars. Momentary or no, the blackouts need to be fixed.

So, Mitsubishi is bringing in nearly 90,000 Outlanders for a software update. The company claims that Outlanders from 2022 and 2023 are affected, while only the 2023 model year for the Outlander PHEV is specifically named. Owners will be notified early next month if Mitsubishi thinks their car falls under the recall umbrella.
