SUBARU president Yasunuki Yoshinaga visited the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and submitted a report on the final investigation results on tampering with fuel consumption and exhaust gas inspection data. According to it

data alteration was carried out in a factory in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, and in the 5 years to November last year, it is said that 903 cases were found in all models including the mainstay "Forrester" .

This check randomly chooses the completed car and checks whether the numerical value is appropriate, but fraud has been done at a rate of one to approximately seven cars tested It will be.

Many of the tampering was done in such a way as to record the numerical value of the lie even if the inspection result did not meet the criteria as if the criteria were cleared.

Such fraud is taken over by instructions of the group leaders and others on the scene, and it is highly likely that it was left unattended for over 15 years.

Assuming that the management team did not grasp the corruption, the company as a whole concluded that "the consciousness to respond to the trust of consumers was lacking" and concluded that there was a problem with the corporate constitution.

Last year, SUBARU was also aware of irregularities that unqualified employees conduct pre-shipment inspections, and recovery of trust has become a serious issue.
