How Many Recalls Has Mitsubishi Had?

Since 2020 Mitsubishi has launched 7 UK recalls. Adjusted for its cars on the road, that is 4.16 car recalls per 100,000 licensed cars.

201020162024

The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Mitsubishi cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.² Mitsubishi has a small number of cars on UK roads, so one or two recalls can move this rate a long way. A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls. See which car makes have the most recalls.
