Philippine regulators will investigate accidents involving Mitsubishi Motors Corp.’s Montero Sport vehicles after complaints they can speed out of control.

The Trade Department formed a panel that will conduct the probe and recommend actions including a possible product recall or sales ban, if warranted, according to a copy of an order issued by Undersecretary Victorio Mario Dimagiba on Wednesday. The investigation will cover sudden and unintended acceleration incidents from 2010 to 2015.
