Mitsubishi to recall Montero units due to weld issues

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. will recall Montero Sport and Strada units due to possible welding problems, the car manufacturer announced in a statement Monday.

The firm will be inspecting the front suspension of two- and four-wheel drive models sold from 2011 to 2012.

According to the company, this will affect 11,403 Montero Sports and 4,050 Stradas.

Mitsubishi will check the weld condition of the front suspension lower arm and the front propeller shaft of the four-wheel drive models, and the reclining switch of the Montero Sport’s driver’s seat.

The company said that the recall is a “proactive” measure, and that there has been no reported failures or incidents related to the weld issue.

It added that consumers may check their vehicle identification number on the company’s website to determine if their vehicle is part of the safety inspection. — BM, GMA News
