Free towing and a free loaner vehicle may be available to you. Dear [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME], The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV) has received information from Mitsubishi Motors that, if the recalled airbag in your vehicle deploys, a part inside may explode and spray sharp metal pieces that could seriously injure or even kill you or someone in your vehicle. This can happen even in a minor crash. THE RECALL REPAIR IS FREE – PARTS ARE AVAILABLE – CALL NOW TO SCHEDULE In the United States as of August 2023, there have been hundreds of alleged injuries and 27 confirmed deaths resulting from this defect.

Please encourage your family and friends to check for vehicle safety recalls using their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at NHTSA.gov/recalls. If you no longer own this vehicle, please call 1-855-681-6147 to let us know so that we can remove you from further communication regarding this urgent airbag safety recall issue. If you think this recall repair has already been completed, visit NHTSA.gov/recalls to check and ensure no other safety recalls were issued for your vehicle. If you believe that Mitsubishi Motors or your Mitsubishi Motors dealership is unable to remedy the defect for free within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, DC 20590, or you may call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hot Line at 1–888-3274236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to NHTSA.gov. This notice is being provided and paid for by Mitsubishi Motors, in cooperation with the NYS DMV. Taxpayer dollars were not used. Due to the serious nature of this recall, the NYS DMV is providing limited assistance with these notices to individuals who may be impacted by this recall. The manufacturer is fully responsible for this recall, notification of the recall, and any repairs. This notification does not create a duty upon the NYS DMV to provide notice nor any repair requirement regarding this recall, or any other recalls or safety- related information. Further communication regarding this notice, including scheduling repairs or verifying recall information, must be directed to Mitsubishi Motors and not to the NYS DMV. Lives are at risk.
