Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is recalling 26,016model year 2017-2018 Mirage G4s.
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 airbags.
Airbags that do not deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash.
What to do
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.
