    Despite recall Mitsubishi Mirage selling like hotcakes in Thailand/Australia recall

    Interesting article about how well the Mirage is selling in Thailand and Japan and ramping up production.

    Good news. I'm glad to see Mitsu doing well in any market. They don't seem to be doing well in North America...
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    I noticed the recall mentioned in the article. Did a little digging:

    The Thai-built Mitsubishi Mirage was recalled after discovering malfunctioning fuel gauges in some vehicles already delivered to customers here.

    Other Mirages already exported to Brunei and Japan were not affected by the recall.

    "We suspect the fuel quality [of gasohol] used in Thailand will affect the parts, while the better fuel quality used in the two export countries means no such problem," said Nobuyuki Murahashi, president of Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand).
