Component
AIR BAGS
Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
The air bag system in your Mirage relies on a sensor that detects how fast your car is moving. In some 2014-2018 models, this sensor can get confused by bumps on the road or a flat tire, and think it's not working properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens in a crash, your air bags might not deploy as they should, which means you could be at higher risk of getting hurt.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will update the software controlling your air bag system, which will ensure it works correctly in case of a crash – and this repair is on the house.

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.
