What Happened
The warning labels in your vehicle, like the ones on the dashboard and sun visor, are supposed to alert you to the location of the airbags. However, the labels on some 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Nativa models don't meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
This means the labels might not effectively inform you of the airbag locations in the event of an accident. This could lead to confusion and potentially put you at risk.
Free Fix
You'll receive a letter with instructions and a picture of the correct label, and your Mitsubishi dealer will give you new airbag alert labels for the sun visors at no extra cost. You should contact Mitsubishi Caribbean (1-787-251-8715) when you receive the notification letter.
