What Happened
The warning labels in your vehicle are supposed to tell you how to use the airbags. In 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Nativas, the labels on the dash and sun visors are too small and don't meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in an accident, the small labels might not be clear enough for you to understand how to use your airbags properly, which could increase your risk of injury.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will send you a letter with a diagram of the correct label and a new, larger warning label for your sun visor - all free of charge. You can also contact them directly at 1-787-251-8715 to find out more.
