OCTOBER 12, 2017 /
Boeing passenger jets have falsely-certified Kobe Steel products: source
TOKYO (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N), the world’s biggest maker of passenger jets, has used Kobe Steel (5406.T) products that include those falsely certified by the Japanese company, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

Boeing does not consider the issue a safety problem, the source stressed, but the revelation may raise compensation costs for the Japanese company, which is embroiled in a widening scandal over the false certification of the strength and durability of components supplied to hundreds of companies.
The U.S. airline maker is carrying out a survey of aircraft to ascertain the extent and type of Kobe Steel components in its planes and will share the results with airline customers, said the source who has knowledge of the investigation.
The source asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.

And now Kobe's scandal is spreading to trains....it's becoming ugly. I wonder how this will effect the railway for the ROF as far as specifications and allowable contractors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump will use this example. If made in the USA boeing used parts from North America this would not have happened to Boeing..
And Elon Musk, Tesla.. has already stated prior to this Kobe scandal..: All parts for his cars will be from materials sourced in North America.
General motors, Honda, and Toyota are sweating ..now:
Any Honda, Toyota, or GM drivers out there feeling a little uneasy?
