MMPC to recall Montero Sports, Stradas

Thousands of vehicles from Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC), particularly the Montero Sport and Strada models, will be the subject of a recall over issues related to welding and seats.

In a statement, MMPC said that it has notified the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) that it would be inspecting the two vehicle models to check the weld condition of the front suspension lower arm for both the two- (2WD) and four-wheel drive variants, and front propeller shaft for the 4WD drive models. According to them, the welding bead dimension of the front lower arm is suspected to be insufficient that may result in breakage while vehicle is in use.
