What Happened
The removable airbag warning labels in your vehicle don't meet the required size standards for safety. These labels are on your dash and sunvisor, and they're supposed to warn you about airbag deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If your airbag deploys, the current labels might not provide clear instructions on what to do. This doesn't meet the safety standards, but it doesn't necessarily mean the airbag will malfunction.
Free Fix
Mitsubishi Caribbean will mail you a notification with a new label design and instructions, and they'll also send you replacement labels for your sunvisors. This is a free service, and you should contact them at 1-787-251-8715 to learn more.
