2017-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 Recall 19V330: Air Bag ECU

Recall 19V330 affects 26,016 2017-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vehicles because the SRS sensor can disable air bags. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.

Mitsubishi is recalling 26,016 2017-2018 Mirage G4 vehicles under recall 19V330 because vibrations from rough roads or a flat tire can cause the SRS electronic control unit to disable the air bags. Air bags that stay off increase the risk of injury in a crash, and Mitsubishi dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?

The SRS electronic control unit, or ECU, is the computer that watches crash sensors and decides when air bags should deploy. In 2017-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vehicles, an internal acceleration sensor inside that unit also runs self-checks to confirm the restraint system is ready.

On affected cars, the sensor's self-diagnostic software reads strong vibration from severe road conditions or driving on a flat tire as an ECU malfunction. When that happens, the SRS-ECU shuts off the air bag system instead of keeping it available for a crash. The repair updates the SRS-ECU software so vibration from those conditions is not treated as that fault.

What you see is the SRS warning lamp. If the lamp turns on and stays on, the air bag system has been disabled and the vehicle needs Mitsubishi dealer service.

Who's affected?

Both model years point to the same air bag system, with one component label naming the restraint control module directly.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.

What's the safety risk?

Air bags that fail to deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash. If the SRS warning lamp turns on and stays on, treat it as a serious warning sign and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Mitsubishi dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Mitsubishi dealer to schedule the free SRS-ECU software update that fixes the vibration misread that can disable the air bags.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Mitsubishi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V330 and Mitsubishi recall SR-19-001 when you call.
  4. Avoid delaying the repair, because disabled air bags increase injury risk in a crash.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Mitsubishi technician reprograms the SRS ECU software so the air bag control unit does not disable the air bags after misreading vibration from rough roads or a flat tire. The software update is free under the recall, and parts and labor are covered. If you've already paid expenses tied to this recall, contact the Mitsubishi Customer Relations Department for reimbursement consideration with the repair paperwork.
