## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

Without the brake vacuum pump, the driver will experience a sudden loss of braking assist, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake vacuum pump, free of charge.  The recall began January 7, 2020.  Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1\-888\-648\-7820.  MMNA's number for this recall is SR\-19\-002.
