## 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.
