Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling 37,145 model year 2007-2009 Outlanders manufactured December 15, 2006, to October 31, 2007, and April 16, 2008, to August 22, 2009.
The brake light switch in the affected vehicles may malfunction causing failure of the the brake lights to illuminate during brake application. Inoperative brake lights would not warn other drivers that the vehicle is stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-010.
