The above story was first flagged by Fake review Watch. This is a website run by an ex fraud investigator who runs a one person show exposing the huge industry around made up, bought reviews as well as efforts to run down other competitors.
A Current Affair did a story on one of her works.

In old japan this would have resulted in hari karri not sure of the spelling.This is a seriously big business scam. Apparently Daihatsu, a Toyota subsidiary, has been falsifying safety test on cars for over 30 years. They just made up results!!!.
They have have now stopped production of all their vehicles. The effects on the car industry will be very widespread. Could one see a forced recall and compensation of all sold vehicles ?

Daihatsu, a subsidiary of Japanese car maker Toyota, has shut down production lines at all four of its factories as the Japanese government investigates reports the company faked safety test results on some car models for more than 30 years.
Key points:
- Daihatsu makes Hijet trucks and vans and Mira hatchbacks, small cars popular in Japan
- The company assembled about 870,000 vehicles at its factories in the 2022 fiscal year
- It will not say when production will resume, but local media says operations will be suspended through January
The shutdown came a week after the company announced it was suspending all vehicle shipments in and outside Japan after admitting to improper testing involving 64 models.
That led transport ministry officials to launch a deeper probe into problems that reportedly persisted for decades.
So far there have been no reports of accidents or deaths due to the falsified tests.
The stoppage is expected to affect thousands of auto parts makers and their employees, potentially dealing a blow to local economies across Japan.
It is just the latest of a number of safety or other violations revealed to have taken place at at least five of Japan's major automakers in recent years.
