CarRecallWatch- Component
- AIR BAGS
- Problem
- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to November 20, 2013, and 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles manufactured October 28, 2011, to September 7, 2012. Due to an increased resistance in the impact sensor for the air bag system, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the frontal, side and/or curtain air bags when the SRS warning is illuminated, the frontal air bag may have a delayed deployment and/or the side and curtian air bag may not deploy at all.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, an air bag that does not deploy or deploys late, increases the risk of occupant injury.
- Remedy
- Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected impact sensors, free of charge. The recall began on November 5, 2015. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-15-011.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Due to increased resistance in the air bag system's impact sensor, the frontal air bag may deploy late, and the side and curtain air bags may not deploy at all in a crash, particularly when the SRS warning light is illuminated.
If an air bag fails to deploy or deploys late in a crash, the risk of injury to occupants increases. If your SRS warning light is on, take extra care and have the vehicle inspected promptly.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the affected impact sensors at no charge. Owners can contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 and should check their VIN for open recalls.
