What this recall means for you
The internal acceleration sensor in the airbag control module can mistake vibrations from rough roads or a flat tire for a malfunction. When that happens, the system turns off all of the vehicle's air bags.
Air bags that do not deploy in a crash raise the risk of injury to occupants. Owners should have the software fixed as soon as possible.
An authorized dealer will reprogram the airbag control module software at no charge. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact Mitsubishi Motors North America customer service at 1-888-648-7820, referencing recall SR-19-001.
