|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 24, 2016 |

Filing in context
The Airbag is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 225 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 47 Mitsubishi notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 466 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 years and 4 months.
Defect
In the passenger-side airbag inflator, inadequate moisture protection of the propellant allows the propellant to degrade through repeated temperature and humidity cycles. During airbag deployment, this degradation may cause the inflator canister to rupture.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the airbag inflator or airbag module with a corrected part. Because replacement parts require time to procure, if parts are unavailable, an interim measure will be applied: the passenger-side airbag will be deactivated and a warning label indicating that the airbag is non-operational will be affixed to the passenger-side sun visor.

状況
助手席用エアバッグのインフレーター（膨張装置）において、ガス発生剤の吸湿防止が不適切なため、温度および湿度変化の繰り返しによりガス発生剤が劣化することがある。このため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレーター容器が破損するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エアバッグインフレーターまたはエアバッグモジュールを対策品と交換する。なお、交換用部品の準備に時間を要することから、部品が供給できない場合には、暫定措置として助手席用エアバッグの機能を停止するとともに、助手席サンバイザー部に当該エアバッグが作動しない旨の警告を表示する。
