Suzuki admitted to improper fuel economy testing methods on 16 of its automobile models since 2010 in a statement released Wednesday.

The company said the testing methods used were different from those required by Japanese rules, but that proper testing of the vehicles showed no need to amend the fuel economy data. Despite the irregular testing methods, Suzuki denied accusations that it had deliberately falsified data to make their vehicles seem more fuel efficient.

"Any wrongdoing, such as manipulation of fuel efficiency data, were not found," it said in the statement.

It also said the 16 models affected were sold only in Japan.

Suzuki stock plummeted 15 percent Wednesday after reports began circulating that the company could be tied to a mileage cheating scandal currently surrounding Mitsubishi motors.

"The company apologizes for the fact that we did not follow rules set by the country," CEO Osamu Suzuki told reporters, adding 2.1 million vehicles were affected.

The good thing is that this all affects ROW markets. I don't think JDMs are affected, since I'm sure sepukku is involved if they're caught cheating their own.

As per the article the affected Suzuki's were only sold in Japan. The Japs are not so honorouble as you'd imagine.

Missed that bit entirely, browsing A/L on a mobile.
