Japanese automobile company, Mitsubishi Motors said it plans to give owners of four mini vehicles close to $1,000 in compensation for its overstating of mileage readings, part of reimbursment cost that will total at least $600 million.
NBCnews.com reports.
According to the report, the mileage scandal is as a result of the pressure to deliver competitive readings and poor supervision of testing process and this has led to plans for Nissan to take a one-third controlling stake of the company.
NBCnews also says that Mitsubishi admitted in April to deliberately overstating the fuel economy for some 625,000 minivehicles including two models produced for Nissan.
However, owners of five other vehicles where improper mileage calculations were used will also receive $ 290 (30,000 yen )
