Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim that certain 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles were equipped with defective hoods that flutter and bounce while driving. This defect allegedly poses a safety risk to drivers and their passengers.

Mitsubishi, an automotive company that sells a variety of vehicles, has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Mitsubishi Outlander settlement, class members can receive a hood replacement and reimbursement for past repairs.

The Mitsubishi Outlander settlement extends Mitsubishi’s new vehicle limited warranty to cover 100% of the cost of hood replacement repairs. This extended warranty lasts 18 months and began on May 1, 2026. The extended warranty also applies to vehicles that received a hood replacement before May 1, 2026.

Class members who paid out of pocket for hood repairs or replacements, including parts, labor and related rental car expenses, may receive 100% reimbursement. Those with supporting documentation may recover up to $4,595.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 15, 2026.
