FRONT SEAT BELTS FRAYED ON EDGES - 2013-15 Outlander Sport/RVR. 

Should you encounter a front seat belt that has been frayed or damaged along the edges, inspect to see if the area of damage aligns with adjustment levers on the side of the seat when the seat belt is in use. If the damaged area is near an adjustment lever, please ensure the seat belt is not being placed inside an adjustment lever as this is not the proper position for the seat belt and can cause the seat belt to become frayed.

  • If a vehicle has both SC-15-003 and SR-16-006 open, and the customer does not inform the dealer that they had experienced a shudder or surge condition, complete SR-16-006 only.
  • If a vehicle has both SC-15-003 and SR-16-006 open, and in the rare case that the customer informs the dealer that they had experienced a shudder or surge condition, complete SR-16-006, then follow SC-15-003's procedure for shudder/surge condition.

√ SHIFT LEVER BINDING: ACCESSORY SHIFT GATE LED INSTALLATION (MZ360248EX) - 2014-17 Outlander. 

NOTE: This article is being reprinted to add 2015-17 model year Outlander vehicles.

When removing the CVT or A/T shift indicator panel for LED installation, it is possible to dislodge the shifter dust shield slide from its run channel. As a result, the slider will contact other shifter components when the transmission is shifted from park (P), reverse (R) or neutral (N) to drive (D) and be dislodged from its run channels. Significant damage to the shifter dust shield will result and the shifter assembly must be replaced.

G11084040
G11084041

To reduce the possibility of damaging the dust shield, set the parking brake and move the shift lever to the N position prior to removing the shift indicator panel. Make sure the wheels are chocked to prevent the vehicle moving.

If the dust shield is dislodged from its run channel during LED light kit installation, reinstall it, then, confirm free movement of the shield when shifting to D, prior to reassembly  .
