What's wrong?
The Part 567 certification label on a 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander is the vehicle information label that tells an owner, tire shop, or dealer which wheel and tire sizes belong on the vehicle. On Outlanders equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, that label is supposed to match the actual rear wheel rim size and the owner's manual.
On affected Outlanders, the label printing system was given the wrong rear rim size during production. The wheels and tires installed on the vehicle are 18-inch, but the certification label lists an incorrect rear rim size. If tire or wheel service is done from the label alone, the listed rim size does not match the equipment on the vehicle.
The warning sign is the mismatch itself. The actual rims and tires are 18-inch, and the owner's manual describes them that way, while the certification label gives the wrong rear rim size.
Who's affected?
Covers both 2018 and 2019 Outlander model years, with the vehicle label and wheel hardware listed as separate components.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect rim size information can lead an owner or tire shop to install the wrong rim size, increasing the risk of a crash. The Outlander was built with 18 inch rims and tires, and an 18 inch tire does not properly mount on a 17 inch rim. Confirm the corrected label before wheel or tire replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Mitsubishi Outlander is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mitsubishi dealer to schedule the free corrected certification-label replacement that fixes the incorrect rear wheel rim size information.
- Bring the recall notice if Mitsubishi mailed one, or reference recall number 18V591 when you call.
- Use the corrected certification label for rim-size information after the repair so the wrong rear rim size is not used during wheel replacement.
What happens at the repair
Mitsubishi sends owners a corrected certification label for the Outlander. You can install the replacement label yourself, or a Mitsubishi technician can replace it at the dealer. The label correction is free of charge, and the dealer work is covered under the recall. If you already paid to correct this certification label issue, Mitsubishi will reimburse that out of pocket repair. Contact Mitsubishi customer service with your prior repair paperwork.
