Component
AIR BAGS
Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
Your air bag system relies on a sensor to detect crashes and deploy the air bags. In some 2014-2018 Mirage models, this sensor can malfunction and mistake road vibrations for a crash, which means the air bags won't deploy when they should.
Risk if Unfixed
If your air bags don't deploy in a crash, you're at a higher risk of serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will update the software controlling your air bag system, which is completely free. You'll get a notification, and you should schedule the update as soon as possible to ensure your safety.

Original — What Happened
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.
