What's wrong, in plain English

In some Mitsubishi Mirage G4 vehicles, a sensor inside the airbag control unit can mistake vibrations, such as those from rough roads or a flat tire, for a system malfunction. When this happens, the control unit can shut off all of the vehicle's airbags, so they would not be available if needed.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer, or call Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820, to have the airbag software reprogrammed.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V330000.
