AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
What Happened
Your Montero's air bag is a safety device that inflates to cushion you in case of a crash. In some 1998-2000 models, the air bag's propellant can absorb moisture and fail to work properly, or even rupture, sending sharp metal fragments towards you.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens during a crash, the air bag might not protect you properly, and metal fragments could hit you or your passengers, leading to serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will replace the faulty air bag inflator with a safe one, at no cost to you. This repair is urgent and should be done as soon as you receive the recall notice.
