Mitsubishi to recall 2,446 wagons

TOKYO: Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors Corp. will recall 2,446 Delica station wagons due to a seatbelt defect, the company and the Ministry of Transport said on Tuesday.

A defective spindle could result in a seatbelt failing to lock properly and could fail to restrain a passenger or a child seat in the case of an accident, Mitsubishi said.

Mitsubishi had received one complaint regarding the defect, but received no report of accidents related to the fault, the transport ministry said.

The affected 2,446 vehicles were produced between April 2002 through July this year, the ministry said. -AFP
