2018-04-05	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE	Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.

Depending on the level of existing corrosion, either a sealing/anti-corrosion agent will be applied or the front cross member will be replaced with a new one that has a sealing/anti-corrosion agent applied to it.
