Mazda has decided to resume production of two car models that were suspended due to irregularities in the national certification test, after receiving confirmation of compliance from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on July 18.
Mazda suspended the sale of two car models, including "MAZDA2," in Japan from June 6. This is due to irregularities in the certification test for national type designation applications, where five automakers were involved in misconduct, and Mazda was also involved in the incident.
As a result of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's investigation, it was confirmed that Mazda's two car models complied with national standards, and the suspension of shipment was lifted on June 28. Accordingly, Mazda has decided to resume production of these models at its Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture on July 18 and at its Hiroshima headquarters plant on July 22.
The combined monthly production volume of the two car models in Japan is approximately 1,700 units. Mazda will review measures such as cost burdens after confirming the impact on its distributors during the production suspension period.
Mazda stated, "We will make sure to implement efforts to prevent recurrence and strive to regain trust. We will work to deliver to customers whose shipments have been delayed as soon as possible."
