According to the Fox Business news piece, “The Japanese automaker said the problem could cause the vehicles to tilt excessively on sharp turns and lose tire traction, increasing the risk of an accident. The issue was discovered by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.”
In response to the Fox Business news story, DigitalOlympus.com business intelligence lead researcher Jake Owen hailed the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s due diligence investigations and timely reaction to this situation.
