Passenger Airbag Inflator Replacement
In the interest of safety, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) is recalling selected Lancer vehicles to replace the passenger airbag.
Your vehicle’s airbag is faulty and it could kill or seriously injure you and other people in your vehicle and it should be replaced IMMEDIATELY. You should immediately contact a Mitsubishi Motors dealer to arrange for the airbag to be replaced.
Your Mitsubishi Lancer is installed with a faulty Takata airbag. As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can affect airbags with the fault. If you are involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle. It is important that you immediately contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or the MMAL Customer Care Team on our dedicated recall line: 1800 931 811 (Free call) to help you arrange to have the airbag replaced.
Please take note that any replacement airbag installed in your vehicle following a collision or other incident may also be faulty. It is critical that you urgently contact a Mitsubishi dealer to arrange for the airbag to be checked and replaced, if faulty.
All recalls replacements are free, and can be performed by any Mitsubishi Motors dealer regardless of where the vehicle was purchased and you will not be charged for any other service or repair unless you request it.
