NOTICE OF RECALL OF MITSUBISHI PAJERO AND I MIEV TO REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DETONATORS FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES

From June 15th, 2020 to June 20th, 2022, Mitsubishi Vietnam Automobile Co., Ltd. (MMV) will recall Pajero and I Miev models to replace passenger side airbag detonators for the affected vehicles, detailed information as follows:

Note: All Mitsubishi Pajero vehicles assembled from 18/01/2017 and Mitsubishi I Miev vehicles assembled from 07/08/2013 onwards have been equipped with improved airbag detonators. 

In affected vehicles, the cause is determined by the airbag detonator being affected by temperature changes under humid climates for long periods of time, the catalyst (ammonium nitrate) inside the passenger side airbag detonator may be damaged by metamorphosis.
