What Happened
Your vehicle has bilingual airbag warning labels on the dash and sun visor, but they're too small to meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
This doesn't meet safety standards, but it doesn't mean your airbags won't work. However, it could cause confusion in an emergency, making it harder for you to respond quickly.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will send you a notification letter with a new label design and instructions. You'll also receive replacement airbag alert labels for your sun visor. The repair is free, and you should contact Mitsubishi Caribbean at 1-787-251-8715 to schedule the fix.
