Airbags Vehicle recall #17V686000 · 2017 · 83,555 vehicles
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Mmna will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2017.
