THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, BUT NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE WHICH CAUSED BITS TO BREAK OFF AND FALL INTO THE NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (THERE ARE ONLY 4 PARTS IN THE NATION FOR THIS??) AND THE NEW, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS TO BE CLEANED OUT OF ALL THE RUSTY METAL BITS. THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHEN IDLE (RPMS JUMP UP AND DOWN SLIGHTLY IN IDLE), QUIETS A BIT ONCE YOU HIT 2-3K RPMS AND THEN IS LOUD AGAIN AROUND 1-2K RPMS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE! I DON'T LIVE NEAR THE OCEAN OR A PLACE WHERE IT SNOWS FREQUENTLY. MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE RUST IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE OTHER RECALL JUST LAST YEAR. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR WEEKS SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. THEY TOLD ME IT'S OUT OF MY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR IS AT 75K MILES.

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2013 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured January 17, 2013, through January 25, 2013. The stabilizer link bracket on the left front strut was improperly welded. As a result, the link may detach and cause damage to the tire and/or brake hose.
Consequence & remedy

Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the front left strut assembly free of charge. The recall began on July 30, 2013. Owners may contact MMNA at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's recall number is SR-13-008.
