Mitsubishi bulletin TECH TALK 287

What it saysTech Talk is a service newsletter that was sent out to dealers. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Mitsubishi filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Jul 24, 2025, received Aug 8, 2025, about the steering. It names 12 model years (2017–2025). 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.

What it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.

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 database

Owners of the 12 model years this bulletin names have filed 427 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 176 of them name Structure, 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.

I’ve been having multiple problems since I bought this 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 LE. First, my front brakes went out and I had problems with a serpentine belt not even a year and a half later after buying the car I took it to the dealership. They said there was nothing wrong with it. Let me leave with no brake pads and a squealing belt..

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Mitsubishi TECH TALK 287 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 287 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 287 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 12 model years: 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: 2023 –2024 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid: built before 8 Feb 2024 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
