2017-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Safety Recall Notice

Understanding the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Airbag Recall

Mitsubishi Motors North America has identified a significant safety concern in certain Mirage G4 compact sedans that could compromise the vehicle's airbag system during critical moments. This recall addresses a software flaw in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) that may inadvertently disable all airbags under specific driving conditions.

The Technical Problem Explained

The recall stems from a sensitivity issue in the acceleration sensor within the SRS electronic control unit. This component may misinterpret certain vehicle vibrations - such as those caused by rough road surfaces, potholes, or even a flat tire - as system malfunctions. When this occurs, the ECU may erroneously disable all airbags without warning to the driver.

This defect creates a serious safety concern because:

• No dashboard warning light necessarily appears when the deactivation occurs
• Drivers remain unaware their airbag protection has been compromised
• The risk of injury increases significantly in the event of a collision

Mitsubishi's Recall Solution

To correct this issue, Mitsubishi has developed a software update that recalibrates the ECU's sensitivity parameters. Authorized dealerships will:

1. Connect the vehicle to Mitsubishi's diagnostic system
2. Download and install the latest ECU software
3. Verify proper system functionality
4. Document the repair for NHTSA records

The repair process typically takes less than one hour to complete and is performed at no cost to vehicle owners. Unlike some recalls that require part replacements, this software-based solution means most owners can schedule and complete the repair in a single visit.
