## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

The side and curtain air bags may not deploy in a crash for which those air bags were intended to deploy, increasing the risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupants.


## The remedy

Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incompatible air bag sensors with new, compatible units, free of charge.  The safety recall began on during August 2012.  Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1\-800\-222\-0037.
