Mitsubishi Recalls Vehicles for Possible Airbag Defects
Mitsubishi is recalling about 530 Endeavor vehicles from its 2010 model year because the retainer bracket used for the seat-mounted side airbag frames may not have been properly welded. The airbag could fail in the event of the crash by failing to deploy. This auto product defect in New York and throughout the nation applies only to Mitsubishi Endeavors manufactured between May 26 and July 28, 2009. During the recall, vehicle dealers will check the weld, and if necessary, replace the seatback assembly free of charge.
As motorists, we depend on airbags to protect us at the time of a crash. But when airbags fail to deploy the injuries can be catastrophic or lethal. If you or a loved one has been severely injured or killed as a result of a faulty airbag, you may be able to seek compensation from the manufacturer of such a defective product. Whether your injuries involve airbags that deployed when they weren't supposed to or a non-deployed airbag, the auto maker could be held liable for making the defective auto product.
Defective auto products including airbags, seatbelts, tires and seatbacks cause thousands of injuries each year in the United States.
