2006 MITSUBISHI LANCER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer has 4 recalls, all centered on the same critical defect: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and causing serious injury or death. Moisture intrusion and long-term exposure to heat and humidity degrade the inflator over time, making it increasingly unstable. Prior repair attempts under earlier recall campaigns did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, and some that received interim replacement inflators are included again. Any owner who has already had airbag work done under a previous recall should verify whether their specific vehicle remains affected.
