AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/17 Report--

After the flameout door of the electric fuel pump and the recall door of the Takata defective airbag, the Japanese parts manufacturers exposed again that the product data was falsified. According to media reports, dawning Brake Industry Co., Ltd., a Japanese auto parts supplier, issued a document on February 16 that found improper practices such as tampering with inspection data in brakes and parts made in domestic factories. In addition, the company has found such misconduct since at least 2001.

It is understood that dawning Brake Co., Ltd. is a supplier to Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and other car companies. According to the survey, about 114000 products contain falsified inspection data on brakes and their parts, and about 5000 of these parts fail to pass the quality standards agreed between dawning brake industry and its automakers' customers. these products have also entered 10 Japanese car companies, including Toyota and Nissan. In addition, dawning Brake has confirmed fraud at four factories in Japan, including tampering or fabricating inspection data, and such practices have existed since 2001.

Japanese auto parts companies and auto companies have frequent problems of "counterfeiting". In 2017, Kobe Steel in Japan was exposed that performance data such as the strength of aluminum products had been artificially tampered with, which was used by Toyota and many other Japanese car companies. Subaru admitted in 2017 that over the past 30 years, two of its factories had used unqualified inspectors to "fool" the inspection of new cars before they left the factory, recalling 255000 cars, while Subaru President Ji Yongtai bowed and apologized at a news conference.

In 2020, Japanese auto parts giant Denso Company caused vehicles to stall while driving due to defects in fuel pumps, affecting a number of Japanese car companies, resulting in more than 5 million vehicles recalled by Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda and other car companies. In the Chinese market, Japanese joint ventures such as Guangzhou Auto Honda, Dongfeng Honda, FAW Toyota, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota and Changan Mazda have also announced large-scale recalls for this reason, and so far the related product defects have been completely eliminated.

Due to the exposure of counterfeiting problems, Japanese parts giants and Japanese car companies fell into a large-scale recall. Due to quality defects, Japanese parts giants and Japanese car companies are also in trouble.

Yasuhiro Miyaji, president of dawning brake industry, publicly apologized for the company's wrongdoing for data fraud, blaming frequent changes in inspectors. However, the president said that "there is no problem with safety, and we have asked the automaker to confirm that", which means that the company will not launch a recall of faulty parts.
