Activation of a nondesiccated ammonium nitrate inflator with degraded propellant may result in an inflator rupture. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.

I received a safety recall notice by mail from Mitsubishi motors sales of caribbean on June, I call to a dealership they told me that I have to wait my turn and to wait the inflator to be available, we are in August and still no notice, I call them today and they told me I have to wait my turn, I called to another dealership and they told me they are taking only one car daily and the list is longer. They are extremely slow, other manufacturers are more proactive, but this is taking to long to resolve the defect.
Dear administrator: there has been no accident. . . . I am following instruction from letter. I recently received a letter notifying me of a safety recall regarding the passenger air bag inflator housing for 2004-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles. I currently still own a 2004 Lancer Mitsubishi and I am extremely concerned for the safety of any front seat occupants. Therefore, I immediately responded to the letter from Mitsubishi and followed your instructions. Unfortunately, the response that I received was shocking and quite frankly, ridiculous! I was informed that I would be responsible to pay to ship my car from maui to honolulu in order to get my car repaired! the notification letter clearly states under the reason for notice that the safety recalls are in the areas of hawaii, florida, puerto rico, and the us virgin islands. Mitsubishi should assume that “special arrangements” would have to be offered to service and repair in order to meet the requirements of the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. If you recognized that this recall affects island customers why are you penalizing them for your manufacturing mistake, forcing them to ship their cars inter-island for repair? I am asking that Mitsubishi please assume their responsibility and comply with the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act and pay for the shipping of my car from maui to honolulu to have my car repaired. At a minimum allow a certified Mitsubishi motor dealer or certified mechanic in maui to make the necessary repair. Please keep this letter in your archives as my attempt to find a solution to get my car repaired to avoid injury or any life changing events as a result of negligence on your behalf.
