Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2019562 · manufacturer campaign SR-19-002

8 November 2019

Transport Canada lists: i-MiEV 2012–2014, 2016–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum pump may fail. This can cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort. If the brake vacuum pump fails, the brake warning light will turn on and an audible warning will sound.

Why it matters

A sudden increase in brake pedal effort could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a new brake vacuum pump.

Transport Canada recall 2017616 · manufacturer campaign SR-17-008

11 December 2017

Transport Canada lists: i-MiEV 2016–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

Common questions

Does the 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV have any recalls?

What fuel economy does the 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV get?
NRCan rates the 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV at 18.7 kWh/100 km combined, with a rated range of 100 km.
What does it cost to run a 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a year?
At 16,249 km a year and Ontario average prices, about $441 in electricity, producing roughly 106 kg of CO2. Ontario is time-of-use, so charging is billed at whichever rate applies when you plug in — the real cost is usually higher than this average. Your own distance and prices will change this — the calculator lets you set both.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
