(1) Reasons for Proposal
The Amendment prescribes sanctions for cases where a motor vehicle manufacturer who has received an order for the correction of defects regarding exhaust gases emitted from motor vehicles fails to submit a plan for the correction of defects or submits an unsatisfactory plan. It also improves provisions to prescribe that an order for the correction of defects must be issued when a motor vehicle manufacturer fails an inspection for confirmation of defects.
