Recalls

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model year. Last checked November 5, 2026.

  • 20V035000: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

    Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 1998-2000 Montero vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant.
