What's wrong?
The brake booster on the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport sits between the brake pedal and the master cylinder. It uses vacuum assist to multiply the force from your foot, so normal pedal pressure creates enough hydraulic pressure to slow the vehicle. Inside that booster, the switch sleeve helps keep the brake pedal switch and pedal movement aligned.
On affected Outlander Sport vehicles, the switch sleeve was installed incorrectly during assembly. That installation error can crack the sleeve. Once cracked, the sleeve can interfere with normal pedal return after you apply the brakes. The issue is not in the brake pads or rotors; it is in the booster hardware behind the pedal.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the problem occurs, the brake pedal does not return to its original position after braking, which is the symptom Mitsubishi identified in the recall.

What's the safety risk?
If the brake pedal does not return to the proper position, the Outlander Sport can fail to move as expected, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before this happens, so treat any unusual pedal behavior as a reason to stop and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mitsubishi technician inspects the brake booster and replaces it if the inspection shows it is needed. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor.
