What happened

Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured between July 27, 2013, and November 20, 2013, and certain 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles manufactured between October 28, 2011, and September 7, 2012. The recalled vehicles have a defective impact sensor in the air bag system that can cause increased resistance, which may result in the frontal air bag deploying late or the side and curtain air bags failing to deploy altogether during a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820 to arrange a free replacement of the impact sensors by a dealer. Reference recall number SR-15-011 when contacting Mitsubishi about this issue.
