Mitsubishi Lancer – Airbags Takata

Le modèle Mitsubishi Lancer apparaît dans plusieurs listes de rappels liés aux airbags Takata. Les plages d’années suivantes sont généralement évoquées : années 2004–2017 selon marchés. Cela reste cependant indicatif : pour ce modèle, seules certaines séries, usines ou finitions ont reçu des inflateurs Takata défectueux.

Typical inflator configuration

Selon la version et le marché, Mitsubishi Lancer peut être équipée :

  • a Takata driver-side inflator (PSPI/PSDI family) mounted in the steering wheel;
  • and/or a Takata passenger-side inflator (PSPI-L family or similar) mounted in the dashboard;
  • sometimes specific inflators for curtain or side airbags.

These inflators use an ammonium nitrate-based propellant. Over time, humidity and temperature cycles can cause this propellant to degrade, causing it to burn more violently than expected and resulting in a sudden increase in pressure. If the metal cartridge is weakened by corrosion or is the wrong size, it can burst and eject metal fragments.
