A recall has been issued for certain 2012 through 2014 model-year Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric cars to address an issue with the brake-vacuum pump.
Problems with the pumps could arise from either faulty software or corrosion resulting from exposure to road salt.

In either case, the pump could stop functioning, eliminating braking power assist.
While the brakes will still work in a car with a non-functioning pump, stopping distances can increase significantly as more physical is required to apply the brakes.
