Recalls: Mitsubishi CE Mirage
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Mitsubishi CE Mirage
1997 Mitsubishi CE Mirage: loss of power braking assistance
In October 1997, a recall was issued for Mitsubishi CE Mirage vehicles manufactured from 17 June 1997 to 21 August 1997 in Japan. For these vehicles, the one-way valve in the brake booster vacuum hose may not operate properly, resulting in reduced braking performance (PRA 1997/3332).
1996-99 Mitsubishi CE Mirage: dislodged crankshaft pulley #1
In August 2000, a recall was issued for Mitsubishi CE Mirage vehicles manufactured up to 12 February 1999. For these vehicles, the crankshaft pulley bolt may come loose – this could dislodge the pulley and cause the engine to stop (PRA 2000/4410).
1999-00 Mitsubishi CE Mirage: dislodged crankshaft pulley #2
In November 2001, a recall was issued for Mitsubishi CE Mirage vehicles manufactured from February 1999 to August 2000 due to the crankshaft pulley bolt potentially coming loose. At worst, this may result in the pulley spinning on the crankshaft, rendering the power steering pump and/or the alternator non-operational (PRA 2001/5046).
1996-99 Mitsubishi CE Mirage: Takata airbag and buyback
In January 2020, recall campaign 010163 was issued for Mitsubishi CE Mirage vehicles that were manufactured from 31 May 1996 to 30 September 1999. These recalled vehicles had Takata driver airbags with NADI-5AT inflators and, over time, moisture could enter the airbag inflator and degrade the airbag propellant. If this occurred, deployment of the airbag could cause the airbag inflator housing to rupture and project metal fragments into the vehicle’s cabin – these fragments posed a serious risk of injury and fatality. The airbag could also under-inflate and not protect the driver as intended. For affected registered vehicles, Mitsubishi would offer to purchase the registered vehicle from the owner at present market value (i.e. as determined by a third party valuer appointed by Mitsubishi). Due to the age of the vehicles, replacement airbag inflators were not available. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18121.
