Mitsubishi was hit hard again: recalled 163,700 Pajero and other models


On June 2nd, Mitsubishi Motors announced that: Pajero, produced in 1992 and 1998, had 17 models and 163,700 vehicles, which had problems with design and production quality, of which 7,300 were exported overseas. The company apologized to consumers for this, and all recalled for free repair and replacement. "Mitsubishi Motors" has received complaints from users of vehicles with mechanical problems in the past two years. The countermeasures taken by the company are not reported to the relevant government departments truthfully, and according to the regulations, the recall of vehicles of the same type is free of charge, and they are taken privately. The method was to secretly recall 92 "problem vehicles" for free repairs, and external vehicles were said to have no problems. Mitsubishi even locked the user’s whistle-blowing letter into the metal cabinet to escape the government’s investigation. Mitsubishi Motors Chairman and President Yoshizaki Okazaki acknowledged the fact of concealing the danger at the press conference. For this reason, he apologized to all users and promised that “sales to domestic and foreign products will be recalled and free replacement of related parts”. It is expected that this recall will cost 2.5 billion yen. In recent years, the accidents of Mitsubishi Motors have continued. In March this year, many people such as Vice Chairman and Vice President of Mitsubishi Trucks were arrested. The company was forced to recall large trucks such as trucks, cars, and cranes. In 2000, Mitsubishi Motors was forced to recall 760,000 cars due to quality problems. In April this year, the German Mercedes-Benz Motor Company lifted its capital and technical cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors. In addition, Mitsubishi Motors’ corporate ethic has also been questioned. In 1996, its 300 U.S. subsidiary company employees collectively sued the company for sexual harassment and demanded compensation of 300,000 U.S. dollars each. It was called the largest sexual harassment case in U.S. history, and the company settled with 34 million U.S. dollars. A series of scandals caused a major blow to the operation of Mitsubishi Motors. Corporate prestige disappointed and the company's business fell into a trough. In May of this year, sales of Mitsubishi Motors Corp. decreased 38.8% from the same period last year. Today, the company’s ranking in the Japanese automotive industry also dropped from fifth place to seventh place.
