NHTSA Campaign 17V686000

AIR BAGS

Issued by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. · Reported Oct 30, 2017 · 83,555 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Mirage vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations such as those from poor road conditions or a flat tire to be a sensor error thereby disabling the air bags from deploying in a crash.

Consequence

Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.

Remedy

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2017. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-17-006.
