Nissan suspending all production in Japan, no effect to Leaf

https://www.autoblog.com/2017/10/19/nissan-suspending-car-production-in-japan/

Nissan is suspending domestic production of vehicles for the Japanese market for at least two weeks to address misconduct in its inspection procedures that led to a major recall, it said on Thursday.

Japan's second-largest automaker said it would stop production of domestic market vehicles at all six of its Japanese plants to reconfigure their inspection lines.

That came after Nissan admitted uncertified technicians had continued to perform final vehicle checks even after it had said it had strengthened control of its inspection processes when the issue first came to light late last month.

Nissan will continue to produce vehicles for export in Japan, including its popular Rogue SUV crossover model and the battery-electric Leaf, as the certification process for final inspections does not apply to vehicles shipped overseas..

It doesn't mention the Leaf. How do you know it is not affected?

But I expect anything produced in Sunderland plant is not effected and that means the Leaf for us too thankfully.

I don't know what to make of that in red above ?

I did search the linked page for Leaf, but the browser didn't show any results. And I obviously didn't read the whole article

Qudos to Nissan for not trying to sweep this under the carpet.

Shame that VAG didnt do similar when they realised that their daysuls had poblems ......

And the dsg and multitronic issues.

Then bmw with their timing change issues. There was never a single recall.

Probably Japanese market has some regulatory requirement for final inspection by an authorised inspector. Does not apply for exported vehicles.

-- edit

Not probably. For sure...

/.../ for at least 20 years the car maker had not been following proper procedures for final inspections required by Japan's transport ministry of all vehicles sold in the country

But that is a completely different nature of an issue.

Nissan failed to, not the first time, do what is required by law. German marques just make **** from time to time and pretend it never happened. But are always within the law... Kind of... Almost... ;-)

Big difference , VW knowingly broke US law , they knew that from the 09 Passat onwards. You'd hardly expect them to go public on that

No manufacturer broke EU laws in the same way , mainly because they are much easier to pass.
