Mitsubishi MIRAGE in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mitsubishi MIRAGE is named on 2 American notices and 3 British. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
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.Safety Risk:
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.Corrective Actions:
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).
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2021377.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Mitsubishi Mirage, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mitsubishi: 99 in the register, and 658 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2021.
