What is wrong
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.
What can happen
If the brake vacuum pump stops functioning, the distance needed to stop the vehicle may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and depending on the affected vehicle, dealers will either reprogram the brake vacuum pump controller, replace the brake vacuum pump or do both, free of charge. The recall began on October 24, 2014. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-007.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| 35-IM-01-13 | 2020-03-18. Service bulletin. This is a Parts Bulletin sent to dealers to inform them that i-MiEV dealers will automatically receive an initial quantity of parts to complete the recall of in-stock dealer units. |
|---|---|
| 35-IM-01-13 | 2020-03-04. Service bulletin. 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. Please reference Safety Recall Bulletin SR-13-001 for remediation. |
