Safety score

Low recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 90% of makes we track.

Mitsubishi scores 80 out of 100 (grade A) for recall severity, which ranks it 5 of 52 makes and among the cleanest of any brand we track. The score is the recall-weighted average of its models, so the brands with the most do-not-drive and critical-safety recalls sit at the bottom. How the score works.

In total, NHTSA lists 60 Mitsubishi recall campaigns across 11 models for the 2010-2025 model years. The single largest affected 198,940 vehicles. The system recalled most often is the electrical system.

A high recall count usually tracks how many cars a brand sells and how long its models have been on the road, not how dangerous they are. The safety score below adjusts for that by weighing how serious and recent each recall is. The table further down breaks every Mitsubishi model out so you can see which ones drive the count.
