Reports by Japanese news media say Mitsubishi Motors Corp. is preparing to admit it overstated fuel economy ratings for several models no longer in production.
In April MMC acknowledged it rigged the ratings on four of its popular minicar models, two of which are marketed under the Nissan brands. The company later said it may have incorrectly calculated ratings on nine other models currently being sold.
But the media reports say MMC estimated fuel efficiency ratings in lieu of conducting actual fuel economy tests on more than 10 other models that have since been phased out.
