Mitsubishi has issued recalls for two models in Australia, including another expanded recall for its Takata airbag program.

In its sights this time are the Mitsubishi Pajero, sold between November 2006 and November 2010, along with the iMiEV electric city car, sold March 2010 and May 2013.

As the ongoing Takata saga continues to play out, the Japanese carmaker has been forced to add more than 19,000 to the recall list in Australia.   

Vehicles with the offending Takata airbags, including many from Toyota, Honda, Subaru and others, may be carrying a potentially lethal airbag inflator unit.

The unit can absorb moisture over time, and in the event of a collision when the airbag is triggered, the inflator unit can rupture - showering the vehicle’s occupants with metal fragments. As a result, occupants may be seriously injured, or even killed.
