Airbag system issue
AIR BAGS
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Mirage G4 vehicles. The internal acceleration sensor in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can misinterpret vibrations, such as from poor road conditions or a flat tire, as a malfunction and disable all the vehicle's air bags.
Consequence
Air bags that do not deploy increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Full campaign recordRemedy
MMNA notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the SRS-ECU software, free of charge. The recall began May 24, 2019. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-19-001.

How this compares
At 37 MPG combined, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 ranks 2nd of 19 compact cars EPA rated for 2017 — 9 MPG better than the 28 MPG median for that group.
That places it in the upper third of its class. Fuel cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor against its direct rivals.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,650, $650 less than the $2,300 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $8,250, a $3,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 237 grams per mile — about 3.6 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
