Mitsubishi Motors recalled its newly-launched Mirage eco-car produced at its Laem Chabang plant in Chonburi, Thailand, due to malfunctioning fuel gauges.

The recall affects around 8,000 domestic customers and the company blames the poor quality of the widely used gasohol in Thailand. Mitsubishi Motors Thailand president Nobuyuki Murahashi claims that the car’s two export markets to date have better fuel quality and have not been affected.

Mitsubishi said that the faulty gauges failed to alert drivers that the cars had run dry. The company has produced over 12,000 Mirages since the car went into production in March.
