Mitsubishi filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Mar 24, 2025, received Apr 7, 2025, about the lane departure. It names 5 model years (2022–2025). A manufacturer communication is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 5 model years this bulletin names have filed 338 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 125 of them name Forward Collision Avoidance, Electrical System, Engine — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The vehicle repeatedly displays “Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled” upon startup and while driving, even when the windshield is clean and weather conditions are clear. When this occurs, the lane departure warning system becomes disabled while driving. This happens without driver input and results in loss of lane safety alerts.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mitsubishi TECH TALK 285 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the TECH TALK 285 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Mitsubishi warranty extension on file lists the ones Mitsubishi has filed.
Which vehicles does TECH TALK 285 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 5 model years: 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
