Mitsubishi Motors recalls over 108,000 vehicles in the US over liftgate issue

Mitsubishi Motors is recalling 108,046 vehicles in the U.S. after regulators said a ruptured gas spring cylinder or unexpected falling liftgate could increase injury risk. The recall is a negative quality-control and liability issue, but the headline appears routine rather than a major financial event. Market impact should be limited unless further defects or costs emerge.
