Data possibly doctored on over 80,000 Mitsubishi Electric systems

Again with the fraud?...

Again and again and again YET globally Japan.inc STILL has an untainted brand. Incredible PR and propaganda.

I have not bought ANY product made by Mitsubishi for over 20 years and never will. My first experience with their failure came in a form of a boot backup floppy disk that lost all data in 2 weeks while being kept in a case in a drawer.

no surprise - standard operating procedure for many of Japan's largest companies.

That's disappointing news. Actually, the air conditioner in my living room is probably one of the best items I've bought from Mitsubishi. My Lancer Evo9 too.

No one seems to have asked how this was discovered. I guess it was a missing hanko

Mitsubishi Electric sources said safety has not been compromised,

Oh, well that's alright then.

Melco is quite the black company indeed, it seems. Don't let the cheery celebrity commercials fool you.

Mitsubishi at least make a heck of a good vacuum cleaner. We love ours.

Mitsubishi Electric sources said safety has not been compromised, but the company has reported the matter to the government.

hmmmmmmmmmm

Yo, btw can any of you offer me suggestions for a new air-conditioner? Which one is better among Daikin, Hitachi, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu?

If Japan conforms to the international standards of accounting and quality-testing, then 90% of Japanese firms will cease to exist.

Look at this CCP bot lol. Japan is a country where Quality standards are so high that these kind of lapses are a HUGE news. Actually, if this was any other country, Nobody would have cared about something like this. Wanna hear examples?

Mitsubishi is not a nice company, ever heard of the mines during WWII where they used slave labour, or the Fuso trucks that lost wheels killing children a few years ago, or how about all their rusty Pajero, Lancer and every other car they ever made being rotten with rust, Terrible track record for a disgusting company.

Would never ever buy one of anything they made , or Toshiba for that matter.

Mitsubishi seems to be going downhill just like Toshiba, selling their stake in wind turbines with Vestas, the loss making Spacejet that burned a billion dollars facing cancellation and now this.

I think the "news" would be if they didn't. Is there any Japanese company NOT doing this kind of thing these days?

And yet it's generally the Japanese-made products I've bought in my life that have proved the most reliable - cars, cameras, rice cookers, bicycle gears, TVs, ...

This article is incomplete, so you could argue this was a mistake (or lapse). But the truth is that this was intentional, so it's actually a deception or fraud.

I am wondering if any of the equipment in question has a failure history? If the products are reliable then there is little harm in reducing the number inspected. Now if there was a high failure rate for that equipment and it was discovered that there were an insufficient number of quality inspections that would be a problem. That detail is missing from the article.
