Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2013 Outlander Sport vehicles manufactured Jan. 17, 2013, through Jan. 25, 2013.
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has formally recalled its i-MiEV electric vehicle in Japan.
Sales and production of the EV minicar, which is also sold as the Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero in Europe, along with the Outlander plug-in hybrid crossover sold only in Japan, have been halted since a manufacturing glitch caused one of their lithium ion battery packs to melt and another to catch fire in March.

Disappointing sales of electric vehicles have plunged the segment into an old-fashioned price war — one that some EV proponents fear could erode acceptance of the technology in the long term.

Mitsubishi hasn’t launched a new car for more than two years. In that same time frame Audi has rolled out no fewer than 24 new cars. So has the wait been worth it?
