of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship. Mitsubishi Motors built-in protection The strength and integrity built into your Mitsubishi vehicle is
the result of a specific design referred to as “Energy Manage-
ment”. Individual body parts are designed to act as one unit in
the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protec-
tive panels or are channeled around the passenger compart-ment. This important feature is possible because high tensile
steel is used in Mitsubishi panels and structural parts, some-
thing that cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturers of imita-
tion parts. All Genuine Mitsubishi body panels and support
brackets are designed and constructed as important protection
features in the event of an accident. By replacing body parts
with imitations, your vehicle may no longer meet original
equipment specifications.
Consumer rights (For vehicles sold in U.S.A.)As a consumer requesting repair on your vehicle, you have
consumer rights. Across the country, State Insurance Commis-
sioners have begun considering rules on the use of non-OEM
parts. This could mean that repair shops will have to disclose to
the consumer, when they intend to use non-OEM parts. Since
regulations are not consistent on this point, remember you have
a choice. So, if you want genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts, you
may have to specifically request them. Make certain your
insurance company understands imitations are not to be used in
the repair of your vehicle. You deserve the best genuine Mit-
subishi Motors parts. Genuine Mitsubishi Motors partsGenuine Mitsubishi Motors parts are built with the high quality
