What is the safety concern?
The affected vehicles are equipped with a specific type of air bag inflator provided by Takata. The air bag inflator could be susceptible to rupture, potentially causing the affected frontal air bag inflator to deploy abnormally in the event of a crash, and cause severe injury or death.
Am I affected by this recall?
MMNA has notified all known owners of affected vehicles by First-Class mail. If you did not receive a notice, you can check for this and any current open Safety Recalls or Service Campaigns on your Mitsubishi vehicle by visiting our website at https://www.mitsubishicars.com/owners/service?q=recallinfo.

Where can I find the VIN?
Your VIN can be found affixed atop the dashboard on the driver side of your vehicle, near where the windshield meets the dash.
It is also located on the door post on the driver side of the vehicle (where the door latches when closed), and in some cases, affixed to the end of the driver door itself.

The VIN can also be found on most vehicle registration or insurance cards.
I received this Safety Recall notice in the mail. What should I do?
Please contact your local Mitsubishi dealership immediately to schedule an appointment to have the affected air bag inflator replaced and to ensure that they have the necessary part on-hand to complete the recall. The affected air bag inflator will be replaced for FREE.

, to avoid risk of serious injury or death.
Please contact your local Mitsubishi dealership immediately to schedule an appointment to have the airbag inflator replaced for FREE and to ensure that they have the necessary part on-hand to complete the recall.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow occupants to sit in the front passenger seat until the recall has been completed.
What will the dealership do exactly?
For 2004 – 2007 Lancer, the dealership will replace the passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a different inflator for FREE. The time needed for the repair is approximately 2 hours.
For 2006 – 2009 Raider, the dealership will replace the driver and/or passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a different inflator for FREE. The time needed for the driver side airbag inflator repair is approximately 1 hour. The time needed for the passenger side airbag inflator repair is approximately 2 hours.
For 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2007 i-MiEV, the dealership will replace the passenger side frontal airbag inflator with a new airbag module for FREE. The time needed for this repair is approximately 30 minutes.
The dealer may need your vehicle longer than the estimated repair times, but every effort will be made to minimize your inconvenience, including providing you with a loaner/rental vehicle while the repair is being performed.

You do not need to present any Safety Recall notification to have the Safety Recall remedy performed. All authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealers can electronically confirm your vehicle’s inclusion in the Safety Recall, and perform the repair for FREE. You may want to present a copy of the Safety Recall notification when visiting your Mitsubishi dealership to help ensure faster assistance.

If you require further accommodations, please contact Mitsubishi Customer Relations by phone at (888) 648-7820, Monday – Friday, 7AM-4PM, Central Time, to discuss alternative options.
Are the repairs considered “permanent”?

It is no longer appropriate to use the word graphite to describe a golf shaft material. In fact, the term carbon fiber does not work either. Many of today’s golf shafts must be referred to a composites. They are blends of carbon fiber strands, carbon fiber weaves, metal wire, metal mesh, metal powder, kevlar, boron and resin. These exotic combinations are increasing strength at reduced weight. This creates a wider range of properties that can be created in the composite tapered tube we call a golf shaft. The Mitsubishi Tensei is a new blend of materials woven into a driver shaft.

Mitsubishi is vertically integrated. they make most all of the materials the go into a golf shaft including monomer, acrylic fiber, carbon fiber, resin and prepreg. Mitsubishi’s latest PR releases tell us what that means: 276 PGA Tour wins on the major tours since 2004, 80 more than the next closest competitor. $137 million in prize money in 2015, $40 million more than the closest competitor. If that does not get your attention, the feel of their shafts will. They use the name Thump on a few products. It is fitting. The high density material they use dampens vibration up the shaft. What gets to your hands is a thump, not a click. When you strike your driver center face, that thump is an exquisite feeling. You can sense the ball getting crushed.

The 2016 Tensei CK Pro Blue is a multi-material design combining 11 different prepreg materials. The profile is very much like a Diamana B. As shown below, the difference between the 60, 70 and 80 gram versions of the TX profile is weight and torque. The stiffness and bend profiles are identical. This is different from Mitsubishi models in the past. Typically the weight and stiffness must be considered together, the heavier shafts are stiffer with the same flex designation.

The shafts covered in this review are the Boron tipped Pro version. They are not to be confused with the shafts that will be offered in OEM off the rack drivers. Those lack the boron tips and are available in a wider range of weights and flex. The Boron tip weave adds tip stiffness to the Diamana B profile. And it is the Boron tip that makes these special. If you try a Diamana B and find the tip feels a little loose, this is the cure.

A carbon fiber / Kevlar weave is used in the butt section of the shaft. It can be seen through the clear finish. While the bend profile of the shaft is just slightly stiffer than the classic blue design, the hoop strength in this area is significantly increased. The result is a superior sense of what the shaft is doing during transition.

The technical discussion, measurements and testing results are available only to registered readers

The Mitsubishi Tensei was designed as Diamana B with new materials. What came to be from the new materials is a tighter tip and butt on a classic profile. Feedback from our testers is very positive. So positive in fact that one ordered a spare should something ever happen to his gamer.
