Mitsubishi Motors Japan had on Feb 18 issued a global recall of selected Mitsubishi models for defective right-turn indicator switches. As the Inspira is a rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer, Proton is recalling all Inspira manufactured from 2010 to 2014, which had been installed with the faulty switches supplied by the Japanese car maker. A total of 20,330 units of Inspira are involved in the recall, Proton said in a statement today.
Around 90,000 units of the Exora CPS 1.6 MPV are also being recalled to check the powertrain fuel line. Proton said this was a precautionary measure involving the MPV variant manufactured from 2009 to 2015.

Proton said it will notify affected owners who should then make an appointment with their preferred service outlets for an inspection. All labour and parts relating to rectification works, if any, will be borne by Proton.
In February, Proton had recalled some 95,000 vehicles to replace faulty CFE oil cooler hoses, a problem that could potentially cause the engines to overheat. The models affected then were Exora, Preve and Suprima.
