What Happened
The warning labels on your vehicle's dashboard and sun visor are supposed to alert you and your passengers about the airbags. However, the labels on your 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Nativa are too small and don't meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
These small labels might not be easily visible, which could lead to confusion about the airbags and potentially put you and your passengers at risk in an accident.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will provide you with new, larger warning labels for your dashboard and sun visor, completely free of charge. You'll receive written instructions and a graphic of the correct label, and you should contact the dealer to schedule the update when you receive the notification letter.
