Mitsubishi to recall i-MiEV to fix airbag sensor

Mitsubishi will recall 261 of the company's 2012 i-MiEV electric vehicle for a potential faulty airbag sensor.

According to Mitsubishi, the front airbags could deploy late or not at all during a crash, due to a software compatibility issue.

Mitsubishi will notify owners to replace the sensors if their vehicles are affected.

For those unfamiliar with the i-MiEV, Autoweek senior west coast editor Mark Vaughn had an i-MiEV for three months. Take a look through his journal of what life is like without gasoline.
