• Recall 2018166 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the passenger frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a new, non-ammonium-nitrate-based inflator. Note: this campaign supersedes recall 2015-236 and involves vehicles that previously received an inflator under that recall.

• Recall 2016317 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, road salt can corrode the front crossmember assembly, which may ultimately lead to separation of the control arm at the mounting point. This would allow the wheel to rotate off its designed axis, and could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect the crossmember and apply an anti-corrosion treatment or replace the assembly, as required.

• Recall 2016254 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

We received a recall notice for our 2006 mitsubishi lancer. We no longer have the original warranty that came with this car at the time of purchase. I have talked to mitsubishi recall center about this very dangerous airbag that has already killed 23 people: unfortunately, there is not a dealership where i live, so according to the mitsubishi case worker one of us would have to drive to the dealership in orland ca: which is approximately 5 hours away/ this car has 130,000 miles on it and can hear a tapping noise when first starting. Because of this noise, my husband feels this car may break down on the way to this dealership. My husband also has a hard time getting time off, "due to the nature of his job," and i have anxiety and am afraid to drive this car. I also have a hard time driving long distances due to a torn meniscus that i had surgery for in february of 2017. Unfortunately, i am still having problems with this knee and am currently still on disability from this injury. This i have related to the mitsubishi case manager who was assigned to us. She said that all she can do for us is give us $100.00 for the cost of gas and she did not offer any other solutions, even after i explained the above to her. Are we really stuck with this offer? Can you help us with this? Does. I can't believe that they can get away with making people take a risk to fix. They are playing russian roulette with our lives.
