TOKYO -- Rail cars equipped with Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners have been shipped to about 15 countries, as the quality control scandal engulfing the Tokyo-based industrial group threatens to bring greater scrutiny in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Mitsubishi Electric last week admitted to falsifying inspection data for air conditioners and air compressors at the company's Nagasaki plant. Roughly 84,600 air conditioner units shipped from the facility between 1985 and 2020, with 68,800 units going to domestic clients and 15,800 sent overseas.
