Dear [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME],
Mitsubishi Motors has determined your vehicle contains an airbag recalled for serious safety concerns. 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. Sadly, these incidents will continue to occur if these recalled airbags are not repaired. You can help keep
these numbers from increasing by getting your airbag repaired today for FREE.
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 TxDMV. Taxpayer dollars were not used. Due to the serious nature of this recall, the
TxDMV 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 TxDMV 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
