Mitsubishi are equipped with a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
The short version
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles are equipped with a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with a different inflator, free of charge.
