Mitsubishi is recalling 3,181 units of the 2011 Outlander Sport in the United States due to a problem with the panoramic glass roof that may have been installed without primer being applied before the adhesive.
The affected vehicles were manufactured from August 26, 2010 through March 29, 2011.
"Without primer being used, the panoramic glass roof may have reduced adhesion, possibly allowing the glass roof to detach from the vehicle, resulting in a road hazard to other vehicles," NHTSA said in its summary of the problem.
The Japanese carmaker has not yet provided a notification schedule, but said dealers will inspect the panoramic glass to see if primer was installed. If primer is not present, the glass will be reinstalled.
For more details, owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
