What is wrong
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.
What can happen
If the vaccum pump system fails, it will reduce available brake power which would result in lengthened stopping distances, which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
The remedy
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected vacuum pumps free of charge. The recall began on February 28, 2013. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-888-648-7820.

Certain brake vacuum pumps equipped on 2012 i-MiEV vehicles built between December 2, 2011 - September 7, 2012 may become inoperable due to failure of an internal component. If the vacuum pump becomes inoperable, the brake warning light will illuminate and the brake warning buzzer will alert the vehicle operator. Vacuum pump inoperability will result in reduced brake power assist, which may increase stopping distances and could lead to greater risk of crash.
