Interesting seeing Mitsubishi's name amongst the brands in the USA regarding the current airbag recall.

Has anyone researched whether suspect units could exist in our Tritons?

I understood that Mitsubishi were not involved at all with the airbag recall. If they're listed in the States then that would probably only apply to locally produced vehicles.

yes Honda , Toyota and Nissan

And on this morning's TV news 11 vehicle brands globally are affected including also, Ford, BMW, Mazda, Fiat, Chrysler and Daimler.
TAKATA the Jap company who manufactured these -exploding- airbags apparently has 25% of the global airbag supply market.... :shock:

They are now -estimating- 34 Million vehicles in the US alone, and possibly up to 53 Million vehicles world wide, could be affected by this fiasco .... :shock:

Glad I don't own shares in TAKATA ....

by **mad992** on Fri May 22, 2015 2:23 pm

My daughter's elderly Honda CRV was recently recalled to have its airbags replaced which means that, potentially, it has been a four-wheeled time bomb for the past 8 years or so.

With the list of affected vehicles going back to 2001I find it very hard to believe that this problem remained undetected for so long and suspect that Takata has been less than forthrightly honest. Maybe they hoped that if they waited long enough most of these vehicles would have been scrapped?

by **leonbee** on Sun May 24, 2015 8:16 am

Great... I can stop letting my wife drive and turn on the passenger air bag

Glad Triton is not on the 34 million waiting list.........

TAKATA :oops:

Has anyone heard about the airbag recall on the MN Tritons. According to the article it seems we are caught up in the Takata airbag issues. Nothing on the government recall web site yet.

The corrosion of the switch effecting the lights is interesting, I'm sure a read recently a member here having issues with his lights that closely resembled that description.

by **Crash486** on Sun Jun 05, 2016 12:50 pm

Wow. Thanks for the heads up.

by **Cowboy Dave** on Sun Jun 05, 2016 1:43 pm

The way it has been explained to me, is that the airbags in our country are different to those used overseas. Something to do with our requirements on SRS airbags being harder to comply with?

I'm pretty sure we had a post when this first came out quite a while ago on other vehicles which basically said we don't have that brand of airbags in Tritons, in Australia

by **Cowboy Dave** on Sun Jun 05, 2016 1:48 pm

So when I went looking for the old thread on the same subject, it had the exact same thread title. Made merging the 2 threads a bit of a no brainer.

by **rogermtt** on Mon Jun 06, 2016 1:38 pm

In Malaysia, Tritons' owner are urge to check with this web site for the recall.

Dragging up an old thread but a new airbag recall is out affecting a little over 57k ml/mn's in total.

I'm in this group

Doesn't appear to be MY15 MN though..

by **BillMcQuade** on Wed Jul 13, 2016 8:47 am

At least they can do it at the same time as the connector greasing :lol:

by **borngeek** on Wed Jul 13, 2016 8:52 am

damn mine is in that range too :roll:

Not that keen on a dealership touching my car...

It's only the passenger, maybe just supply them with safety glasses upon entry to the vehicle? :idea:

Drivers side Justin :roll:

You forgotten how to read English already?
