Full defect summary
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.
Air bags: frontal
Risk: In the event of a crash, corrosion of the connector could delay deployment of the frontal air bags, increasing the risk of injury to the driver and the front seat passenger.
Fix: Mmna will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected connectors, replacing any found to be corroded. A waterproof sheet will be installed over the connectors to prevent future corrosion. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in february 2016. Owners may contact mmna customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mmna's number for this recall is sr-16-001.
