Air bagsReported September 23, 2015 · 13,558 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles manufactured July 27, 2013, to November 20, 2013, and 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles manufactured October 28, 2011, to September 7, 2012.

Risk: In the event of a crash, an air bag that does not deploy or deploys late, increases the risk of occupant injury.
