Subaru Launches Investigation To Determine If Shills Were Used To Inspect Vehicles

Subaru has launched an internal investigation after finding evidence unauthorised staff have been inspecting vehicles at two of its Japanese factories.

The Japanese government requires carmakers to carry out thorough vehicle inspections before cars are shipped from the factories in which they are made. The process checks cars’ steering, brakes and other essential elements, and Subaru is understood to employ around 250 inspectors, who typically go through a training process lasting between two and six months.
