What Happened
The airbag system in your Mirage relies on a sensor to detect a crash. But in some 2014-2018 models, this sensor can get confused by road vibrations, like those from a pothole or a flat tire, and think it's faulty.
Risk if Unfixed
If a crash happens and your airbags don't deploy, you're at a higher risk of injury. This is a serious safety issue that could leave you vulnerable in a collision.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will update the airbag computer with new software, free of charge. This will ensure your airbags work as intended in an emergency, and you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

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.
