Some owners of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander Sport compact SUVs may unexpectedly have their doors fly open while driving due to a faulty inside door latch mechanism.
The inside door latches may not work properly at higher temperatures, though they work correctly under normal weather conditions.
Mitsubishi Motors North America reported that the latch elements manufactured by its Japanese parts supplier Ansei Corporation are the problem. Apparently, the dimensions of some of these components were not correct and did not match the vehicle’s specifications.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall number is 17V233000 and the manufacturer recall number is SR-17-002.
