Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
Your vehicle's airbag system has a critical component called the passenger side airbag inflator. It's a small device that helps inflate the airbag in a crash. Unfortunately, some of these inflators can rupture over time, especially in specific regions with high humidity.
Risk if Unfixed
If your airbag inflator ruptures, it could send sharp metal fragments flying towards you in a crash. This could cause serious injury or even be fatal.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator with a safer one, free of charge. Don't drive your vehicle until this repair is done. You'll be notified by Chrysler or Mitsubishi, and you can contact them at 1-800-853-1403 with Chrysler's recall number S43.
