What Happened
The warning labels on the inside of your dashboard and sun visor are supposed to alert you to the airbag's presence in both English and Spanish. However, the labels in your vehicle are smaller than they should be.
Risk if Unfixed
If an airbag deploys unexpectedly, it could cause serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will mail you a new label to display on your dashboard, and they'll also send you replacement labels for your sun visors. This service is free. Check your mail for a notification letter and contact them at 1-787-251-8715 to confirm your vehicle's status.
