The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, the right side lower seat belt anchor May separate during a severe vehicle crash.
The risk
Breakage of the mounting bracket in a severe crash could allow the seat belt to not properly restrain the passenger and potentially result in injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front passenger side seat belt and bracket assembly free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2008. Owners May contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
