Miros Will Re-Test Perodua Axia Safety Despite No Complaints From Buyers
Perodua would not conduct a recall or suspend deliveries of the Axia model.
"We have not received any complaints so far, but we will look into Perodua's claims," Wong told the local news portal Free Malaysia Today (FMT). This comes after Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad assured the public on 30 April that the new Perodua Axia models were safe to drive.
For the record, the Perodua Axia is the result of a joint venture between Perodua and Japanese automaker Daihatsu, which recently revealed that approximately 88,000 cars had undergone rigged side collision safety tests. The majority of the 88,000 affected Toyota vehicles, namely Toyota Yaris models, were destined for Thailand, Mexico, and Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
Daihatsu claimed that it discovered the rigged safety tests after receiving a whistleblower report, and the Japanese automaker then reported the issue to regulatory agencies. 
Shipment of the affected models has been halted and will resume only after new safety tests in the presence of regulators confirm the models' safety. Zainal however, stated that Perodua would not conduct a recall or suspend deliveries of the Axia model to their customers. Source: FMT
