Subaru probes into possible mileage cheating

Subaru said it was investigating whether its inspectors may have falsified vehicle mileage readings during final inspections conducted on cars sold in Japan, driving down the automaker's shares more than 8 percent to a 1 1/2-year low. Subaru added that while mileage readings did not fall under vehicle safety requirements, it was looking to see whether any possible fabrication could hurt its official mileage readings and if any exported models may have been affected.
