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 43 Mitsubishi notifications from 2020 in this archive. For scale, 784 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 4 years and 8 months.

Defect

The driver's airbag inflator was manufactured with insufficient moisture protection, allowing the propellant to absorb humidity. If the propellant undergoes repeated cycles of moisture absorption and drying during service, the airbag may fail to deploy normally when activated.

Corrective action

As a preventive measure, replace the airbag inflator on all vehicles with an alternative part. Owners will be notified again once replacement parts are available.
