Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross problems and recalls

The Eclipse Cross has two NHTSA recalls in the DOT dataset, both software fixes for early cars: 18V-621 for 2018 models whose brake hydraulic unit could keep safety systems from intervening, and 18V-620 for 2018–2019 models whose pedestrian-detection braking could last too long. We found none for 2020-and-later models.
