It appears that the fuel economy scandal that I reported on a few days ago has gotten worse. U.S. auto safety authorities said they were seeking information on this gong show. That likely means that they think that this is more involved that Mitsubishi is admitting:
An official at the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told Reuters the regulator had asked Mitsubishi Motors for information on vehicles sold in the United States.
He declined to comment on which models it had requested information on, or whether it had requested data from other automakers.
That’s a huge problem for a company that has been trying to gain market share in the US as the feds would only be looking for information if they think there is something to find. You can bet that somewhere in Japan a bunch of Mitsubishi Motors executives are really, really worried. You can also bet that this story is only beginning.
