Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles because the passenger side frontal air bag inflator may be susceptible to moisture intrusion. Over time, this moisture could cause the inflator to explode during a crash when the air bag deploys, potentially sending metal fragments at vehicle occupants and causing serious injury or death. The recall includes vehicles that previously received a replacement inflator under earlier recalls as well as 2004-2006 Lancer vehicles located in Guam or Saipan.
To address this issue, Mitsubishi dealers will install a final replacement passenger side frontal air bag inflator at no cost to owners. The recall began on April 26, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Mitsubishi Motors North America customer service at 1-888-648-7820 to arrange service, and can reference recall number SR-18-005.
