RECALL Subject : Panoramic Glass Roof May Detach Report Receipt Date: JUN 20, 2013 NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V255000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 3,181 Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

SUMMARY: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured August 26, 2010, through March 29, 2011. The panoramic glass roof may have been installed without primer being applied before the adhesive.

CONSEQUENCE: Without primer being used, the panoramic glass roof may have reduced adhesion, possibly allowing the glass roof to detach from the vehicle, resulting in a road hazard to other vehicles.

REMEDY: MMNA will notify owners and dealers will inspect the panoramic glass to see if primer was installed. If primer is not present, the glass will be reinstalled. MMNA has not yet provided a notification schedule. MMNA's recall number is SR-13-007. Customers may contact MMNA at 1-888-648-7820.
