What Happened
Your vehicle has bilingual airbag warning labels on the dashboard and sunvisors. Unfortunately, these labels are too small and don't meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
Having incorrect labels may not alert you to airbag deployment risks in the event of a crash, which could lead to injuries.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will send you a letter with a correct label picture and a written description. You'll also get replacement labels for the sunvisors. This is a free service, and you should contact them at 1-787-251-8715 to schedule the repair.
