Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Mitsubishi caribbean had replaced the original factory installed mounting bracket bolts of both driver and passenger air bags with aluminum rivets. After air bag deployment, the rivets can loosen or break, causing partial or total displacement of the air bag modules.
