• 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.

• JMA-TP26MIT-8D-P2: 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer MIT14 Transponder Key / MIT14-PT(JMA)

• Air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA15001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

Takata recall. Had original airbag replaced 2 yrs ago. Received a letter from mitsubishi stating i needed to have it done again. I called customer service for mitsubishi when i learned they no longer have a mitsubishi dealership locally. I was advised at that time that the nearest dealership , in either direction, was 4-5 hours from where i live. I was advised that i needed to call all the mechanics in the area to find one that is certified by mitsubishi! If i could find one and they were mitsubishi certified, the work would be done and mitsubishi would pay for it. However, they need to have current certification. I have called a few dealerships in the area, but no one has a certification for mitsubishi. I didn't install the bad airbags. I would have to travel to either of these dealerships, spend the night in a motel, wait for the appointment and work to be done, and drive home. This is ridiculous! In the meantime, i have received a second letter from mitsubishi stating that i shouldn't allow anyone to ride in the passenger seat of the car until it's repaired. I don't know if the drivers side airbag is any good either. I would appreciate all the help you can give me. I feel like my car at the present time is useless. I'm in fear of driving even to the grocery store.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mitsubishi lancer. The contact stated that the vehicle was pulling to one side and the tires were worn down. The vehicle was taken to an independent tire facility where it was diagnosed that the cross member needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v458000 (suspension). No further assistance was provided. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

I was going to replace the front control arms on my own but now i am only going to be able to replace the front passenger control arm because the driver side control arm is corroded and the bolt does not come out. I was going to buy the crossmember myself but than a family member showed me a link that says this crossmember on my model could be a recall. Before i realized how corroded it was i took it to a dealership due to a recall on the passenger air bag and the dealership replace it and they sprayed some anti-corrosion on the crossmember but forgot to mention the hole the crossmember had. The vehicle was stationary at home

Takata recall my local mitsubishi dealer, cutter mitsubishi (https://www.Cuttermitsubishi.Com) has refused to fix the recall. I have telephoned more than five times, leaving detailed messages, including both the air bag recall and not including the air bag recall. They have never responded to one telephone call, and they never answer the phone. I have gone to their website and left a dozen requests for service noting i need the air bag recall fixed, and they have never, not once, replied to any requests. They should be forced to fix my airbag before it kills me and they should be punished with a significant monetary penalty for endangering my life and everyone else's life who can't get it fixed.

Takata recall - i took my car in to hickory mitsubishi in hickory, nc to get the airbag fixed. I picked up my car in the afternoon. It started to get dark about an hour later, so i turned my lights on. I have no interior lights on my car. I can't see my odometer, shift column,etc. I had to travel a significant distance to get this repair since there is no longer a mitsubishi dealer where i live. Now i have to go all the way back there and sit for another 2.5 hours while they try to figure out what they did to my electrical system. I'm not sure i want them to even touch my car again.
