MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 54-MG-01-16
Components: AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT
NHTSA ID Number: 10074805
Manufacturer Communication Number: 54-MG-01-16
PURPOSE: If a driver enters the vehicle with his/her shoes covered with snow containing road salt, the carpet may become soaked when the snow melts. If the carpet becomes soaked in the area of the driver’s foot rest, water containing road salt may contaminate a wiring connector terminal located in a junction box behind the kick panel to the left of the driver’s foot rest. If this occurs, the connector terminal may corrode over time and cause several warning lamps to illuminate, including the SRS warning lamp.
If the SRS warning lamp is illuminated and the vehicle is subsequently involved in a collision requiring frontal air bag deployment, the timing of the frontal airbag deployment may be delayed.
Please reference SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN SR-16-001 for the procedures on how to remedy the above occurrence as well as to prevent potential future corrosion.
AFFECTED VEHICLES: Certain 2014-15 Mirage vehicles built between July 27, 2013 and September2, 2015.
IMPORTANT Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Super Screen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or non-compliance is remedied.
