What Happened
The warning labels on your airbags are bilingual, but they're not big enough. This is a safety standard that ensures you know how to use your airbags properly in case of an accident.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, you might not be able to quickly understand the airbag warning labels, which could slow down your response and increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi will send you a letter with a new label design and instructions, and you'll also receive a replacement label for your sun visor. This service is free, and you should wait for the notification letter to schedule a visit to your dealer.
