Nissan is in trouble in its home country for conducting unauthorized final vehicle checks of the Japanese-market spec cars. Authorities within the Japan’s transport ministry have raided two of the automaker’s factories. As a result, Nissan has suspended all the new vehicle registration with Japanese government. Also, Nissan is in process to recall all its passenger cars that were sold in the country in past three years.
The latest two Nissan plants that were subject f investigation are the Tochigi and Auto Works Kyoto plants. Reports suggest that two other factories are there that have been conducting unauthorized vehicle checks. Therefore, the authorities are likely to raid those facilities as well.
As the authorities found, names of certified technicians have been used on the documents to sign off the final vehicle checks, while that were conducted by non-certified technicians. This comes as the second major irregularities by any Japanese automaker in last two years. Previously, Mitsubishi was found misleading the customers with the fuel efficiency of its vehicles in Japanese market.
