JAKARTA - The hit-test scandal case carried out by Daihatsu has caused a global automotive world earthquake. This case is reinforced by the results of an investigation at the end of 2023 issued by the Third Party, which found 174 new cases in 25 testing items and found irregularities in 64 models and 3 machines.
Then, this case was exacerbated by a manufacturer who admitted to having falsified the results of the vehicle safety test for 30 years. Then, the drama regarding this issue still continues.
Due to the fraud, the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism (MLIT) conducted inspections by conducting direct inspections of several models, one of which was Gran Max.
Reporting from Nhk.or.jp, Tuesday, January 16, MLIT conducted a hit test on the pickup. Testing was carried out to ensure this model has proper safety standards in Japan. For your information, Daihatsu Gran Max is one of the models affected by this scandal.
In the hit test, this white Gran Max unit drove at a speed of 50 km/h and hit the wall that the dumpmy was carrying. As a result, safety hazards were found in the vehicle.
According to MLTI during airbag testing, it was found that this device was activated based on a time controller. Although, this also needs to be ensured that the airbag is automatically detected by the sensor.

Apart from Gran Max, two other models were also tested by the Ministry, such as Toyota Town Ace and Mazda Bongo. Thus, MLTI instructed to stop sending affected vehicles and revoke safety certification.
"This is a big problem that will shake the foundations of the car certification system, and will ultimately affect the reliability of the Japanese manufacturing industry," saidOK Saito, as Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Tourism.
In response to this, Daihatsu said that it would carry out the corrections that had been ordered and consider the matter thoroughly and make a report within one month of publication.
"I see it as a management issue. This problem was born from a management system, including the work environment," said Soichiro Okudaira, President of Daihatsu.
