Suzuki Motor Corp. Chairman Osamu Suzuki vows to remedy faulty test procedures on 26 minicar models it makes for the Japanese market, declaring “Cheating is cheating.”
The company says re-tests of affected models going back to 2010 found the most efficient of the batch were actually more thrifty under the correct government test procedures. Nevertheless, Chairman Suzuki tells reporters the company will “do everything we can to prevent recurrences.”
