REC-003508
active0 SUBARU OUTBACK
When the gear selector is set to the “park” position, the parking pawl may not engage and therefore the parking mechanism may not operate properly. In this case (assuming the parking brake has not been applied), the vehicle may roll (depending on parking condition e.g. if parked on an incline). For the sake of clarity, this issue does not affect proper operation of the hand brake and if the hand brake is applied the car will not roll.

REC-003501
active0 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER
The potential defects or combination of defects are as follows: (1) The Electronic Power Steering computer may fail, causing the EPS warning lamp to illuminate and in the worst case requiring increased effort to steer the vehicle. (2) When driving in a tunnel with the Adaptive Cruise Control 'On”, the system may judge the wall of the tunnel to be an approaching vehicle and automatically operate the brakes. (3) 'ACC failure' (Adaptive Cruise Control), 'FCM failure' (Forward Collision Mitigation) and 'ASC failure' (Active Stability Control) may be displayed on the combination meter with a warning alarm, and these systems may stop functioning. (4) The ETACS (Electronic Time and Alarm Control System) computer may fail, resulting in the turn signals mal-functioning if the “answer back” feature is activated when operating the electric tail gate.
