The Mitsubishi Carisma was built from 1995 to 2004 at the NedCar factory in Born, Netherlands, on the same production line as the Volvo S40 and V40. It is a compact family car that was sold modestly in the UK and is now relatively uncommon. The shared production facility did not mean a shared platform; the Carisma used Mitsubishi’s own architecture while the Volvos used their own.
Part number RECS114Y338 is the Recaro direct-fit sub-frame for the Mitsubishi Carisma. It attaches to the Carisma’s factory floor fixing positions without drilling and carries integrated fore-aft runners. The Carisma uses Mitsubishi-specific front seat fixings of the mid-1990s generation, which are not documented in most universal-fit catalogues, making the vehicle-specific sub-frame the practical option here.
Carisma owners are a small but committed group. Parts can be difficult to source, and anyone still running one has usually chosen to do so deliberately. A Recaro seat in a Carisma is a noticeable improvement over the standard seats, which were functional rather than inspiring. The sub-frame makes the installation clean and reversible.
This sub-frame is for Recaro seats only and covers base-mountable bucket seats and reclining sport seats. Side-mounted competition shells need separate adaptor hardware. Pricing is for one frame, one seat. Tell us your Recaro model when ordering and we will confirm everything is included.
