Hello! New to the Evo market but not new to the auto repair industry. As an ASE journeymen technician, I would always recommend getting safety related components repaired. Especially if it relates to airbags. They can be the difference between life and death. If you get the airbag replaced ( under warranty) you won’t about to worry about it being “dangerous”. Disabling the airbag will disable the entire system, leaving all the other airbags and seatbelt tensioners inoperable. As you can imangine that’s a recipe for disaster if anyone gets into an accident that results in an airbag deployment.

Thanks Richard. Ive got 2 cars disabled right now (My EvO & Scion XB). Need to get that done !
It will be a cold day in hell before mitsubishi touches my dash. I plan on removing the airbag myself and leaving it off. I will fool the RCM with a resistor. I will probably swap to an aftermarket steering wheel as well (eliminating that one too)

Sorry, but just saw your post. I have a left hand driver & the AB recall is for the passenger igniter. I un-plugged the passenger side main plug. Access through the glove box. Make sure you disonnect the battery before disabling. The AB warning light will be illuminated on the dash
I had the first recall done. They were kind enough to not touch my ecu but mark down that they did. Unfortunately, my dash now rattles like a bag of cans...But I knew that would happen.
now they want to mess with it again? ****.that.
Dropped off the Evo this morning for the passenger airbag recall that I’ve been postponing. The service tech asked if the car was tuned, glad he asked and was aware of the previous owner issues. Was informed all went smooth.
After picking up the Evo enjoying the nice drive home there were no issues with rattles or noises others have shared. With my car being pretty close to stock, the techs must have been happy to have seen that I assume.
