Recall 07MY to 16MY Pajero Information

[jimnyjerry]

I suspect that, given the huge number of affected Pajeros, it will take a significant amount of time to source replacement airbags for all of them.

If risk increases with age, I expect Mitsubishi want to do the vehicles most at risk first, rather than replacing low-risk airbags opportunistically. Manage the process carefully to manage the risk.

Hope that is the case. I shiver with antici... pation.

We received the second letter from MMA today saying to contact a MM service centre to arrange for the air bag replacement in our Pajero. Called the dealer as I want this done and out of the way. Was told 'it may not need replacing and they need to check and call me tomorrow.'

WTF? I have had two letters from MMA. It is in the VIN range.

Why is taking so long?

There has been a lot of conflict relating to the root cause of the issue but an independent professional report has been done on this issue which details the full extent and cause.

It is dangerous to drive these vehicles, why is taking so long for Mitsubishi Australia to have the replacement bags in here?

Maybe because over 6.5million vehicles from a wide variety of vehicle manufacturers have been affected by the Takata airbag recall worldwide. They can't make that sort of volume overnight.

Because you are a number, somewhere between 1 and 53 million, all in the que, waiting, unfortunately.

That article doesn't list any Mitsubishi models but we do know Mits is affected, I have a letter to say so.

In my initial response to this Airbag recall, is that the fragments may, may be released on deployment of the airbag...
It is my intention whilst driving..not to allow this to happen.
This is one vehicle accessory I do not want to use..

Exactly. These vehicles are still quite safe to drive. They are potentially not quite so safe to crash.

I've never wanted to be involved in a crash that deploys the air bags.

Also you need to consider the airbags fitted to Australian delivered vehicles have a lower deployment pressure compared to other countries as we have compulsory seatbelt use and many later model vehicle also have seat belt pretensions so that further reduces the pressure required in the airbags to absorb impact forces.
