This case is not a case. In recent years, there have been many Japanese companies’ fraud scandals. In recent years, many Japanese companies have been exposed to fraudulent scandals, including optical Olympus and Toshiba. Many companies in the automotive field are involved.
In 2016, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan exposed the fuel consumption test fraud scandal. Mitsubishi Motors uses fuel economy test data in a different way than Japan's domestic laws and regulations. The actual fuel consumption data is 5% to 10% higher than the displayed value. It lasts for 25 years and involves about 2 million vehicles.
In the same year, Japanese car company Suzuki also revealed fraudulent news. It is understood that since 2010, Suzuki has not obtained fuel efficiency data for all 16 models sold in Japan, and has been conducting violation tests, including mini-cars and small cars such as Alto. More than 2.1 million vehicles.
The Takata airbag incident, which has been fermenting in recent years, has triggered the largest car recall in the history of the world, and it is also caused by Japanese companies' fraud. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a company that has been greatly affected by Takada Airbags. Honda said in a statement that the company has reviewed the internal documents of Takada and found that Takata Airbags conducted test data fraud on specific airbag gas generators. .
According to Netease Auto, as early as 2004, Takada’s executives admitted to the existence of “manipulating†gas generator test data. Later, despite the global exposure to the death of Takada airbags, Takada failed to face up to its own problems, but adopted a concealed and evasive attitude. Takata even rejected the US authorities’ recall requirements in 2014. Falsification, bullying, and refusal to admit mistakes caused Takada to eventually go bankrupt.
How much credibility can Japan make?
Japanese cars have been known for their reliability and low failure rate. A series of events have made the Japanese auto industry collectively shamed and gradually eroded the reputation accumulated by Japanese cars over the years.
On September 8, Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. decided to recall all 2018 models of CR-V cars, totaling 30,509. There is a problem with the electronic brake booster control software of the new CR-V, which may cause misjudgment during the running of the vehicle, thereby starting the brake backup mode, causing the brake fault light to illuminate and the brake pedaling force to increase, posing a safety hazard.
Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy has a certain chance of burning oil, many complaints on the network, and many cases of replacing the engine assembly. However, Nissan has not implemented a recall. Is it a "small problem" that does not affect driving safety?
The recall of Mitsubishi Motors involved important defects in the engine and transmission, adding a big stain to the reputation of Japanese cars. In September this year, Mitsubishi recalled some of the imported 2014 and 2016 Outlander series cars. The welding parts of Outlander's engine valve lift motor relay and engine control unit relay may be abnormally heated and desoldered during use, causing circuit disconnection. When the engine control unit relay fails, the engine is turned off during the vehicle and cannot be started again. Security risks. In August 2016, Mitsubishi recalled 45,731 vehicles for the 2015 Outlander Sport due to possible installation errors in the LVT Sport CVT hose clamps, resulting in improper operation of the transmission and fire.
