2014-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage Airbag Warning Light

On 2017-11-27 09:54:17

Mitsubishi will be contacting the owners of certain 2014-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage cars about a software problem that could increase the risk of injury during a crash. According to the defect report filed with the NHTSA, the self diagnostic function used by the internal acceleration sensor in the SRS-ECU could misinterpret severe road vibrations and/or driving on a flat tire as a malfunction of the SRS-ECU. If this happens, the SRS warning lamp will illuminate and none of the seven airbags will deploy.

 

Owners of all affected vehicles will be notified and encouraged to bring their vehicles in to have the SRS-ECU software reprogrammed with countermeasure software.
