April 24 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Motors 7211.T is recalling 108,046 vehicles in the U.S. as a ruptured gas spring cylinder or an unexpected falling liftgate could increase the risk of injury, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

The recall affects some of the company's Outlander and Outlander hybrid SUVs, NHTSA said.

As a remedy, Mitsubishi will replace the left and right liftgate gas springs, free of charge, the auto regulator said.
