2013 MITSUBISHI I-MIEV Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Mitsubishi i-MiEV has 6 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect that can cause the car to lose drive power without warning or, in worse cases, start a fire. The passenger-side front airbag also has a recall: the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious injury risk to the front passenger. Three recalls address the brake vacuum pump, which can fail due to corrosion from road salt or water intrusion, causing a sudden loss of braking assist and significantly longer stopping distances. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles. There is also a steering concern: the lower steering shaft bracket may have been welded incorrectly, meaning the column could fail to behave as designed in a crash and increase the risk of injury to the driver.
