More Mitsubishi models in Japan found with inflated mileage

FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2006 file photo, Mitsubishi Motors Corp. President Osamu Masuko smiles as he introduces the fully redesigned Pajero, the Japanese automaker's flagship SUV, at its headquarters in Tokyo. The mileage scandal at Mitsubishi Motors Corp. is widening after the Japanese government ordered sales halted on eight more models after finding mileage was falsely inflated. The Japanese automaker acknowledged in April, 2016, it systematically falsified mileage data on its eK wagon and eK Space minicars, also produced for Nissan Motor Co. At that time, it had said no other models were affected. But the transport ministry carried out its own tests and said Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016, that it had found other models, including the Pajero sport utility vehicle, had inflated mileage by as much as 8.8 percent, and on average 4.2 percent.
