EQUIPMENT Safety Recalls

Low Priority #04V428000 Plain English
Component

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Manufacturer
MITSUBISHI CARIBBEAN
What Happened
Your dashboard and sun visor have bilingual warning labels to remind you to wear your seatbelt and to use airbags. However, these labels are too small and don't meet federal safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If the labels don't meet safety standards, that doesn't mean your airbags won't work. However, it's essential to make sure you understand how to use them properly, and these labels are supposed to help with that.
Free Fix
You'll receive a letter with a new label design and a picture, and you'll also get replacement labels for your sun visors in the mail. This is free, and you should contact Mitsubishi Caribbean at 1-787-251-8715 to confirm your information and schedule the update.

Free Fix
You'll receive a letter with a sticker that shows the correct instructions for installing the car seat. The sticker will also be added to your owner's manual, and it's free. You should contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820 to confirm the recall and get the correct instructions.
