Japan Emission Test Scandal Widens to Include Suzuki, Mazda

The video discusses a scandal involving Mazda, Suzuki, and Yamaha, who reported misconduct in fuel economy and emission tests. This issue, similar to previous cases with Nissan and Subaru, occurs during the final car inspection process required for cars sold in Japan. The impact on consumers is limited, as recalls are unlikely. However, the scandal affects market shares, especially for Suzuki, due to consumer sensitivity to such news. The incident highlights compliance issues within Japanese carmakers, with problems often not reported to top management.
