## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [19V804000](/recalls/nhtsa/19V804000.md), 2019-11-08: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(MMNA\) is recalling certain 2012\-2017 i\-MiEV vehicles.  Water may penetrate the brake assist vacuum pump, causing corrosion and a failure of the brake vacuum pump. Built 2011\-10\-28 to 2016\-06\-10.
- [17V022000](/recalls/nhtsa/17V022000.md), 2017-01-10: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(MMNA\) is recalling certain 2012 and 2014 i\-MiEV vehicles.  These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment.  In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. Built 2011\-10\-28 to 2014\-09\-03.
- [15V594000](/recalls/nhtsa/15V594000.md), 2015-09-23: AIR BAGS. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(Mitsubishi\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to November 20, 2013, and 2012 Mitsubishi i\-MiEV vehicles manufactured October 28, 2011, to September 7, 2012.  Due to an increased resistance in the impact sensor for the air bag system, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the frontal, side and/or curtain air bags when the SRS warning is illuminated, the frontal air bag may have a delayed deployment and/or the side and curtian air bag may not deploy at all. Built 2011\-10\-28 to 2012\-09\-07.
- [14V522000](/recalls/nhtsa/14V522000.md), 2014-09-02: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(Mitsubishi\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2014 i\-MiEV electric vehicles manufactured September 15, 2009, to March 25, 2014.  Due to either software programming or corrosion caused by road salt, the brake vacuum pump may stop functioning. Built 2009\-09\-15 to 2014\-03\-25.
- [13V031000](/recalls/nhtsa/13V031000.md), 2013-01-25: SERVICE BRAKES; SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST. Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling certain model year 2012 i\-MiEV electric vehicles manufactured December 2, 2011, through September 7, 2012.  The brake system vacuum pump may fail, causing the vacuum pump to be inoperable. Built 2011\-12\-02 to 2012\-09\-07.
- [12V372000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V372000.md), 2012-08-01: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE\-INACTIVE. Mitsubishi is recalling certain model year 2012 i\-MiEV vehicles manufactured between November 4, 2011, and December 22, 2011.   Incompatibility between the air bag sensors and the self\-diagnostic software may deactivate the frontal and side airbag system.  Should this occur, the SRS warning lamp would illuminate to alert the driver. Built 2011\-11\-04 to 2011\-12\-22.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2019562](/recalls/tc/2019562.md), 2019-11-08: Brakes. Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum pump may fail. This can cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort. If the brake vacuum pump fails, the brake warning light will turn on and an audible warning will sound.  Safety Risk: A sudden increase in brake pedal effort could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a new brake vacuum pump.
- [2017018](/recalls/tc/2017018.md), 2017-01-11: Airbag. On certain vehicles, long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
- [2015419](/recalls/tc/2015419.md), 2015-09-23: Airbag. On certain vehicles, due to improper manufacturing, the electrical resistance inside the impact sensor for the Supplemental Restraint System \(SRS\) air bag system may have increased. As a result, abnormal communication may be detected by the ECU causing the SRS warning lamp to illuminate. If a vehicle is involved in a collision that warrants front, side, and/or curtain air bag deployment when the SRS warning lamp is illuminated, frontal air bag deployment could be delayed and/or the side and curtain air bag may not deploy.  Failure of an airbag to deploy during a crash \(where deployment is warranted\) could increase the risk of injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS impact sensor with a countermeasure unit.
- [2014377](/recalls/tc/2014377.md), 2014-09-05: Brakes. On certain vehicles, vacuum pump function could be affected by software defects and/or blockage of the pump exhaust hole. An inoperable vacuum pump would affect power brake system function, increasing brake pedal effort and potentially increasing stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software and replace the vacuum pump as necessary. Note: In the event that the vacuum pump becomes inoperable, the brake warning lamp will illuminate and an audible warning will be heard.
- [2013025](/recalls/tc/2013025.md), 2013-01-25: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the brake system vacuum pump may have been manufactured incorrectly and could fail.  Loss of brake power assist could increase stopping distances, possibly causing a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the brake vacuum pump.
- [2012252](/recalls/tc/2012252.md), 2012-07-31: Airbag. On certain vehicles, sensors are incompatible with the self\-diagnostic software used by the Safety Restraint System \(SRS\) system, causing the SRS warning lamp to illuminate when a diagnostic check occurs. If the vehicle were continue being operated with the warning lamp illuminated, the inflatable curtain and side impact airbags may not deploy or the front airbags may deploy late. This could result in an increased risk of injury to an occupant during a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace incompatible sensors with updated ones.
