Do you drive a Mitsubishi Lancer 1,6 or EVO 2003-2007?
Mitsubishi Motors SA (MMSA) announced that over 2 000 Lancer 1,6 and EVO derivatives sold between 2003 and 2007 will be recalled for safety inspections and replacement of airbags.
Mitsubishi is one of 11 manufacturers affected by potentially defective airbag inflators manufactured by Takata.
MMSA is currently contacting owners to arrange and co-ordinate the timing of the service inspections. The airbags will be replaced at no cost. The replacements parts first need to be distributed to dealers countrywide before customers will be asked to bring their vehicles in. The whole procedure should only take about an hour.
A simple online VIN-checker with a FAQ-section is available on the company’s website for Lancer owners who want to check if their vehicles are affected.
