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.

Transport Canada recall 2021377 · manufacturer campaign SC-21-001

15 June 2021

Transport Canada lists: Mirage 2014–2016

What is wrong

This service campaign is for certain replacement rear brake drums that were sold by Mitsubishi dealers. The brake drums may have been made with wheel stud holes that are too large. As a result, a wheel stud could spin when tightening the wheel nut. This can reduce the clamping force between the wheel and the brake drum. If this happens, the wheel may eventually come loose and could separate from the vehicle. Note: This service campaign is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Why it matters

A wheel that cannot be properly tightened could increase the risk of a wheel separation. This could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.

What the dealer will do

Mitsubishi will contact owners that may have had these brake drums replaced at a Mitsubishi dealer. They will advise affected owners to take their vehicle to a dealer, who will replace any affected brake drum(s).

Transport Canada recall 2017532 · manufacturer campaign SR-17-006

30 October 2017

Transport Canada lists: Mirage 2014–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the internal self-diagnostic of the airbag control module may interpret vibrations caused by severe road conditions and/or driving on a flat tire as being a system fault. This would disable the airbag system. As a result, the airbags would not deploy in a crash that warrants their deployment, which would increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

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.
