Mitsubishi Recall SR-14-005: Transmission Fluid May Leak Into Transfer Case

2009 Mitsubishi Outlander

If the oil seal dislodges, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) may enter the transfer case assembly, reducing the ATF pressure in the transmission, resulting in poor transmission shifting or the inability of the vehicle to be driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
