What Happened
The warning labels on your vehicle's dashboard and sun visor have bilingual English/Spanish text, but they're not big enough to meet safety standards. These labels tell you how to use the airbags correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's an accident, the warning labels might not be clear enough for you to understand how to use the airbags, which could lead to improper use and reduced protection.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will send you a letter with a new label design and instructions, and they'll also send you replacement warning labels for your sun visors – all free of charge. You'll get a notification when the fix is ready, and you should contact them at 1-787-251-8715 to confirm.
