Japan's Auto Industry Faces Safety and Certification Crisis
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Motor1
Mazda has paused sales of the MX-5 Miata RF in Japan due to discrepancies in engine control software used during certification versus production. The issue affects 10,930 cars produced since June 2018, with 10,760 already delivered. Mazda is rewriting the software to match the production version and assures customers the vehicles are safe. Similar issues affect the Mazda2, Mazda6/Atenza, and previous-generation Mazda3/Axela.
