Mitsubishi Vehicle Defects Arouse Concern in China Numerous reports of
defective Mitsubishi land-cruisers have stirred up concern in southwest
China's Yunnan Province, which has nearly half of China's imported V31 and
V33 Mitsubishi cars.

China has now banned the import of these two types of Mitsubishi vehicles.

A local source said on Friday that about 30,000 V31 and V33 Mitsubishi
land-cruisers in Yunnan need to be checked for designing defects and
repaired.

The source said that there are altogether 72,000 such Mitsubishi vehicles
in China.

On Thursday the Mitsubishi side had issued a written apology to all its
consumers in Yunnan.

The company's two service centers in the province have examined more than
700 vehicles this week and changed components for about 10 percent of
them.

The designing defects of the Mitsubishi land-cruisers were found after
many security accidents happened, sources said.
