PARIS (Reuters) - French carmaker PSA PEUP.PA said on Wednesday it did not know if 1.6 liter diesel engines it supplied to Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi 7211.T between 2015 and 2018 are part of a probe in Germany.
“At this stage, we do not know which vehicles or families of engines are targeted by the ongoing probe of Mitsubishi,” a PSA spokesman said.
Mitsubishi is being probed by German prosecutors for suspected use of illegal defeat devices installed in its diesel engines, the Frankfurt prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.
