Concern

Loss of power steering assistance

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to the use of inappropriate material for the drive belt on the 4B1 Petrol engine the nylon idler pulley(s) may wear at an angle. If this continues under this condition the drive belt will be forced off the pulleys. This can lead to battery depletion Overheating and on vehicles with hydraulic power steering the steering effort will increase.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace drive belt. Check and if necessary replace idler pulley(s)

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Mitsubishi OUTLANDER in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Mitsubishi OUTLANDER is named on 15 American notices, 39 Canadian, 24 European and 29 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Mitsubishi elsewhere in this register

Mitsubishi is named on 112 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE

5 notices in this register name LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
