Tokyo, July 15, 2004
— Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today submitted its weekly report to the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the current status of recalls and other improvement measures stemming from past "repair directives," or so-called shiji-kaishu. Today's report is the fifth weekly report submitted by the company.
- Current status of 30 cases recently submitted to ministry
- On July 7, MMC finished the submission of all 30 cases related to past repair directives that required recalls or improvement measures. As of July 14, the company had completed 7.1 percent of the measures on a registered vehicle basis, or 3.1 percent of all units — including those no longer on the road — subject to the measures.
To speed up the process, MMC sent some 200 employees to dealers to help out and will send a total of 500 in August.
- Results of investigation into accidents/fires for 10 previously submitted cases
- Based on the results of an investigation into 134,000 product information reports held by MMC and its dealers, MMC has confirmed that of the total 92 cases related to directive repairs no accidents or fires have occurred after submission for the 10 cases (4 recalls, 2 improvement measures, 4 service campaigns) the were filed with the ministry before June 2, 2004. The company also reconfirmed that no accidents resulting in injury or fires had occurred before the appropriate measures were submitted with the ministry.
