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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.
Original — 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.
Your vehicle has a faulty air bag sensor that might not deploy properly in a crash, which could be because of increased resistance in the sensor.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
In the event of a crash, an air bag that does not deploy or deploys late, increases the risk of occupant injury.
Original — 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.
Your vehicle's wiring may be damaged from water and salt getting into the carpet, which could cause problems with the air bag system.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the air bags don't deploy properly, you could be hurt more seriously than you would have been if they had worked correctly.
Free Fix
We'll inspect the wiring connectors and replace any that are damaged. We'll also install a special waterproof cover to keep water and salt out in the future, and all of this will be done for free at a dealership.
