Kobe Steel Scandal Deepens Over Quality Of Metal Used In Cars,Aeroplanes & Train by obafemee80(m): 6:33am On Oct 13, 2017 |
[img]http:///a/img924/3868/pWOZko.jpg[/img] [img]http:///a/img922/4198/sdCces.jpg[/img] Car, train and aircraft makers are investigating whether they have used any sub-standard materials made by Kobe Steel. The metals were delivered to hundreds of companies including car manufacturers, aeroplane firms and the space industry. The checks come after Japan's third largest steelmaker admitted falsifying quality data, possibly for as long as a decade. General Motors,Boeing and Toyota are among the firms checking their models. An internal investigation at Kobe Steel found 70 cases of data tampering at its Kobelco Research unit. Shares in Kobe Steel fell by nearly 40% in two days, wiping more than $1.5bn (£1.1bn) off its market value after the firm admitted fabricating data about the strength and durability of products it delivered to more than 200 companies. The metal scandal broke after Kobe Steel, one of the key Asian metal producers, said its staff had given false strength and durability ratings. Kobe Steel spokesman Gary Tsuchida told the BBC the firm regrets the falsification of data. "There were tens of employees involved. It seems in some cases quality control was undertaken by veteran employees who had lots of experience, highly trusted within the organisation, and somehow these discrepancies slipped by them." Widening crisis In Japan and abroad, manufacturers that have used Kobe Steel materials have been racing to check that the safety of their own products has not been compromised. Central Japan Railway said some Kobe Steel parts for its bullet trains did not meet Japanese industrial standards, but there were no safety issues. Hitachi said its new trains in Britain used Kobe Steel but had all passed rigorous tests. US plane manufacturer Boeing also said it had not found any safety issues. But Mazda said it was still investigating after it used Kobe aluminium in some car bonnets. And Honda said that aluminium produced by Kobe Steel had been used in doors and bonnets of some of its cars. The crisis at Kobe Steel is the latest in a string of recent scandals at major Japanese companies. They include cases of falsified data at Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors, while air bag maker Takata filed for bankruptcy in June over faulty airbags which were blamed for several deaths and many injuries. Toshiba is still working to recover from an accounting scandal that began in 2015. https://autojosh.com/kobe-steel-scandal-deepens-quality-metals-used-carsaeroplanes-trains/ http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41585742 Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 |

It feels cool to lie but when the truth is out it’d leave you in a state far worse before the lie. |

This is wht I call keeping standards, and when the standards are not met there will be HELL to pay! It's not as if Kobe Steel products are failing massively, it's just that the material components don't meet the rated standards which can become fatal during mission critical operations. What we should take home from this is the accountability aspect. Even after so many years they are able to do indepth investigation to get to the root of the matter. Next we will find out whether top management was involved in the falsifications and for how long. In most cases these investigations either kill of the company kpatakpata or the internal n external reviews could make them strong enough to take on the next generation. 2 Likes |

KingRabota: It might actually have implications for Nigerian car users. Toyota sources the raw materials used for manufacturing its cars from Kobe. And Toyota is the number one choice for Nigerian car owners. |

We've heard preliminary status reports from a handful of of car and airplane manufacturers. More buyers' reports are necessary. What of those who bought and used the steel in the construction industry? High critical stress infrastructure: bridges, high-rise buildings, etc. 1 Like |

Tinyemeka: Bad. Too bad. If automobiles fail tens could die...if aeroplanes fail hundreds could die.... if civil engineering works fail thousands will be at risk and I sure hope they were not involved in anything nuclear or biochemical.... that will be armageddon loading... Trust the United States. They will slam Kobe so hard the ripples will be felt round Mount Fuji... |
