Mitsubishi mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
The short version
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling all 2016-2017 i-MiEV vehicles, equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side frontal air bag inflator, free of charge.
