Vehicles Affected: Approximately 2,100 model-year 2012-17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV hatchbacks

The Problem: Water may penetrate the brake assist vacuum pump, causing corrosion, a failure of the brake vacuum pump and a sudden loss of braking assist, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the brake vacuum pump for free.

What Owners Should Do: Mitsubishi will begin notifying owners Jan. 7, 2020. Owners can call the automaker at 888-648-7820, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
