Owner report 10983690 · 2017-05-05 (May 5, 2017)
I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED BY A DRIVER DOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A 3 LANE PARKWAY, WHICH CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THE SEATBELT REACHED THE END OF ITS LENGTH, OR THE INERTIAL REEL FINALLY LOCKED, BUT WHEN IT…

1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
19V330000 · Air Bags: Air Bag/Restraint Control Module | Air Bags
Reported: 2019-04-26 (April 26, 2019)
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.
Consequence: Air bags that do not deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy: MMNA notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began May 24, 2019. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-19-001.
