Vehicles Affected: Approximately 83,500 model-year 2014-18 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchbacks
The Problem: The internal acceleration sensor in the safety restraint system electronic control unit can misinterpret vibrations to be a sensor error, thereby disabling the airbags from deploying in a crash and increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Dealers will reprogram the safety restraint system’s software for free.
