Oct 20 (NHK) - Nissan Motor has just announced it will suspend domestic shipments of vehicles from all 6 factories in Japan.
It is also considering expanding its vehicle recall.
Nissan president and CEO Hiroto Saikawa broke the news at a press conference on Thursday.
He admitted that a scandal over safety checks went deeper than first thought.
Saikawa revealed that unqualified staff at 4 factories continued to carry out inspections after the scandal first came to light last month.
Earlier this week the automaker said just one factory had continued with the improper checks.
Saikawa said Nissan is considering issuing a recall for another 34,000 vehicles. That's on top of the 1.16 million-vehicle recall announced earlier this month.
