— Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today reported on the current status of recalls and other improvement measures it is submitting to the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for past "repair directives," or so-called shiji-kaishu. MMC has made a public pledge to report weekly on the current status of its efforts. Today's report is the first.
MMC is currently looking at each case individually to determine the steps that need to be taken and confirm the status of parts that will need to be supplied. Once the company has determined the appropriate timing for submitting a case, it will draw up and submit the necessary documents to the ministry.
To date, one recall was submitted on June 4. On June 18, MMC plans to submit ten recalls and one improvement measure. Going forward, the company expects to submit eight recalls by the end of June and all submissions related to repair directives should be submitted by the end of July.
