Mitsubishi to recall 371,000 cars
(Recall = Takaisinkutsu)
Reuters / November 20, 2003
TOKYO (Reuters) -- Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said on Thursday they would recall more than a 370,000 cars worldwide.
Mitsubishi Motors said it would recall more than 360,000 cars worldwide for a cost of up $45.8 million, with about 220,000 of those in Japan.
Subject to Mitsubishi's recall are some Galant, Galant Aspire and Legnum sedans built between August 1996 and March 2001, after six reports of a defective joint in the front-wheel suspension system.
It also issued a recall of about 11,000 Grandis minivans produced between April and July this year after 51 reported cases of a glitch in the windshield wiper motor. The car is one of Mitsubishi's strategically vital models in its turnaround plan.
"We are planning to discuss whether a recall is necessary with the authorities in the various countries," a spokeswoman said.
High-volume recalls by Japanese auto makers have become frequent recently. Some analysts have expressed concern about the rapid pace of expansion and the risks that could pose on quality.

Kohta loppuu, mitsubishi merkkisten autojen valmistus alkaa olla loppusuoralla. Yleensä suuryritykset keskittävät toimintansa ydinbisnekseensä ja ei taida mitsubishi heavy industriesin ominta aluetta olla henkilöautot.
Mitsubishihan on maailman suurin sademetsien hakkaaja joten taitaa se olla sitä päätoimialaa...
Eikös DC omista nykyään jo yli puolet Mitsubishi Motorsin osakekannasta?
