    Mitsubishi is recalling 60,243 model year 1994-1998 Montero vehicles due to a defect where the accessory cargo mat can interfere with the latching of the third row seats. If the third row seat is not properly latched during a crash, its occupant could be ejected from the vehicle. To address the issue, dealers will inspect the third row seat latches and strikers and modify the cargo mat by cutting rectangles around each striker to ensure proper clearance and latching of the seats.
