What are the defects?
Some remote keys supplied to consumers do not contain sufficient button battery warnings and do not comply with the mandatory labelling requirements for items containing button batteries. Therefore, consumers may be unaware that the key uses a button battery and the risks posed to young children.
What are the hazards?
In the absence of the necessary warnings, if young children gain access to button batteries and ingest them, they are likely to suffer severe internal burn injuries, which can result in serious injury or death. Button batteries also pose a choking hazard to young children.
What should consumers do?
Owners should contact their preferred Mitsubishi Motors Dealer to check if the required warnings are present and have any missing warnings fitted at no cost to the owner.
Note: Keys should also be kept in a safe place and out of the reach of children at all times.
Owners should bring the following items with them to the Dealer:
1) BOTH keys
2) Vehicle Owner’s Manual
3) Vehicle Service and Warranty Book or the Recall Letter received in the post
