Mitsubishi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Dec 14, 2023, received Jan 6, 2024, about the equipment. It names 8 model years (2022–2024).

Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 8 model years this bulletin names have filed 350 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 77 of them name Structure — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Mitsubishi TIN-23-66-002 a recall?
No. A service bulletin 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 TIN-23-66-002 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 TIN-23-66-002 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
