I SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN LESS SEVERE, IF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ACCORDINGLY. I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN BUYING THE CAR OF ANY DEFECTS WITH THE AIR BAGS OR SENSORS. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS STILL BEING RESEARCHED. I FOUND THIS OUT AFTER SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AS TO WHY MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. IT WAS JUST PUT IN AROUND THE TIME I BOUGHT MY CAR.

17V686000 · Air Bags

Oct 30, 2017

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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Air bags that do not deploy as designed in a crash increase the risk of injury.

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.

15V815000 · Air Bags:frontal; Electrical System:wiring

Dec 4, 2015

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to September 2, 2015. If the driver enters an affected vehicle with their feet covered water and salt, it may soak through the carpet and cause corrosion to a wiring connector located in a junction box behind a kick panel to the left of the driver's footrest.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.
