The short version

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Also recalled are 2004-2006 Lancer vehicles located in Guam or Saipan that previously received or never received a new inflator under 15V321 or 17V569. These passenger side frontal air bag inflators may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to explode in the event of an air bag deployment.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could explode with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

WHAT TO DO

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will install a final replacement passenger side frontal air bag inflator, free of charge.
