Airbags, Airbags Vehicle recall #19V330000 · 2019 · 26,016 vehicles
What's wrong: Mitsubishi motors north america, Inc. (mmna) is recalling certain 2017-2018 mirage g4 vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations, such as from poor road conditions or a flat tire, as a malfunction and disable all the vehicle's air bags.
Why it matters: Air bags that do not deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Mmna notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began May 24, 2019.
