Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017.

No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not towed to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. Case worker [XXX] has completely ignored my case. Called recall number and have filed 5 cases now with no response. I will have to file a lawsuit to get help. Can someone please call [XXX] @ [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN SERIOUS OFFSET HEAD ON CRASH WITH A FULL SIZE CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE SIDE APRON AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE RURAL ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. DON'T KNOW ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS. CHEVROLET VEERED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND STRUCK THE MITSUBISHI RAIDER XLS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG CONTRIBUTED TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE MITSUBISHI DRIVERS INJURIES.
DEALER ("MIAMI LAKES AUTO-MALL" IN ZIP CODE 33014) NEVER HAS PARTS AVAILABLE, I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR OVER A YEAR TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO NO AVAIL. SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ANY PROPERTY DESTRUCTION IS INCURRED DUE TO THE LACK OF URGENCY SET FORTH BY THE AFOREMENTIONED DEALER OR MITSUBISHI IN FIXING THESE RECALLS, ME AND MY FAMILY WILL HOLD ALL WITHIN THE DEALER AND MITSUBISHI ACCOUNTABLE/RESPONSIBLE.
I HAVE HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED BUT YOU ARE STILL SHOWING A RECALL INCOMPLETE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED YOU OF THIS ACTION. MITSUBISHI IS NEGLIGENT IN NOTIFYING YOU OF THIS REPAIR. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN YOU DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACED BY LANDERS CHRYSLER DODGE IN LITTLE ROCK, AR AS SET UP BY MITSUBISHI MOTORS SINCE THERE IS NOT A MITSUBISHI DEALER IN ARKANSAS. THIS NEW AIR BAG WAS SUPPLIED BY MITSUBISHI AND INSTALLED ON FEB. 12,2018 AND THE NHTSA RECORDS STILL SHOW THE RECALL AS INCOMPLETE.
NO DEALERS IN MY STATE TO PERFORM THIS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. CANNOT LOCATE A MITSUBISHI DEALER TO DO THIS RECALL.
TAKATA RECALL -SERRA MITSUBISHI, BIRMINGHAM AL.- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY AIR BAGS. IT TELLS ME IN THE LETTER THAT A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PROVIDED. I CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT, DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE A VEHICLE FOR THE 3 HR REPAIR. I ONLY NEEDED A RIDE BACK TO WORK WHILE WAITING ON REPAIR. NOT LIKE I WANTED A VEHICLE TO RIDE AROUND IN. I CALLED THE MITSUBISHI HOT LINE AND WAS TOLD IT WILL BE PROVIDED. IF THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL CALL THE REGIONAL MANAGER IT WILL BE STRAIGHTENED OUT. I CALL THE DEALER BACK AND PAST THE SAME INFORMATION. WAITED TWO DAYS FOR A RESPONSE AFTER BEING TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I FINALLY CALLED THEM TO HEAR THE SAME STORY OF NOT PROVIDING A RIDE FOR THE THREE HOUR REPAIR. IF THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, THEN WHY IS IT WRITTEN IN BLACK AND WHITE, INFORMING OWNERS THAT IT BE PROVIDED. IT APPEARS TO ME THEY ARE MISLEADING OR LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND DO NOT CARE IF THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE INCONVENIENCED. THE DEALERSHIP IS IN BIRMINGHAM AL. "SERRA MITSUBISHI".
