All Mitsubishi I-Miev recalls, newest first

  1. I-MIEV · water may penetrate into the brake vacuum pump

    20 Nov 2020 · R/2019/380

    Water may penetrate into the brake vacuum pump causing corrosion.

    Fix: The brake vacuum pump will be replaced with a countermeasure one

    287 vehicles · built 30 Sep 2009 to 29 Aug 2011

  2. I-MIEV · propellant in the front passenger airbag inflator may be detiorated

    26 May 2018 · R/2018/115

    The propellant in the passengers front airbag inflator may deteriorate due to high temperature and humid conditions over a longer period in use. As a result the inflator body may rupture during airbag deployment and may injure occupants.

    Fix: On affected vehicles replace the passenger airbag inflator.

    287 vehicles · built 3 Sep 2009 to 3 Aug 2011

  3. I-MIEV · vehicle may roll backwards

    1 Jun 2017 · R/2017/144

    When trying to drive off uphill from a standstill the vehicle may roll backwards. This is because of a software problem in the CMU.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download countermeasure software to the CMU.

    52 vehicles · built 30 Sep 2009 to 9 Feb 2010

  4. I-CAR, I-MIEV, L200, LANCER EVOLUTION · indicators and/or other vehicle lights may switch off or blink without warning

    28 Jul 2016 · R/2016/155

    Due to poor connectivity the indicators and/or vehicle lights may turn off or blink

    Fix: On affected vehicles apply lubricant to switch connections

    1,801 vehicles · built 31 Jan 2006 to 9 Feb 2010

  5. I-MIEV · vehicle may cut out

    21 Sep 2015 · R/2015/156

    Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the motor control unit (MCU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine MCU.

    33 vehicles · built 9 Aug 2011 to 29 Aug 2011

  6. I-MIEV · braking performance may be affected

    28 Nov 2014 · R/2014/108

    It has been identified that the failure of an electric relay can cause the service brake electric vacuum pump to fail. The issue will be identified to the driver by the illumination of a brake warning lamp on the vehicle's instrument panel and an audible warning. If this occurs it will result in a need to apply higher brake pedal force and an increase in stopping distances

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicles and replace the electric vacuum pump relay.

    541 vehicles · built 30 Sep 2009 to 29 Aug 2011

  7. I-MIEV · braking may be affected

    11 Mar 2013 · R/2013/029

    The electric Brake Vacuum Pump on i- MiEV might become inoperable due to a manufacturing error. If this happens the vacuum to assist the brake booster is not available. This will lead to an increased brake pedal force being required to stop the vehicle. Consequently this could lead to an increased stopping distance.

    Fix: Replace vacum pump

    1 vehicle

  8. I-MIEV · drive may be lost

    29 Nov 2012 · R/2012/108

    On the 2010 model year i-MiEV (Japanese specification Right Hand Drive vehicles only) the main battery 280 amp fuse may melt shutting off the high voltage electric circuit. This will result in electrical power no longer being supplied to the motor control unit. The car will fail to start or lose all drive regardless of the battery charge state and fault codes P1A15 and P1A17 are generated.

    Fix: Rectification is the replacement of this fuse with a modified one.
