Shipment of seat belts that do not meet the standards? Factory in Shiga Prefecture Survey by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism October 14, 4:44
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism investigated that a factory in Shiga Prefecture, a major manufacturer of automobile parts, may have falsified the numerical values indicating quality and shipped seat belts that did not meet the safety standards stipulated by law. I found out that I was doing it.
The research is being conducted at the factory in Shiga Prefecture of "Joyson Safety Systems Japan", which has its headquarters in Tokyo, which took over the business of the major airbag manufacturer "Takata", which went bankrupt.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, it is possible that the factory manufactured seat belts by falsifying numerical values that indicate quality such as durability and shipping products that did not meet the safety standards stipulated by law.
We are requesting detailed reports on what kind of alterations were made, how much safety problems there are, and how many cars are equipped with the seat belts in question, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has prevented accidents and troubles. It is said that there is a possibility that the manufacturer will voluntarily repair and repair it free of charge.
So far, there have been no reports of problems with the seatbelts in question.
