Mitsubishi I-Miev: Airbag

Affects Mitsubishi I-Miev · 2012 — about 49 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, sensors are incompatible with the self-diagnostic software used by the Safety Restraint System (SRS) system, causing the SRS warning lamp to illuminate when a diagnostic check occurs. If the vehicle were continue being operated with the warning lamp illuminated, the inflatable curtain and side impact airbags may not deploy or the front airbags may deploy late. This could result in an increased risk of injury to an occupant during a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace incompatible sensors with updated ones.
