Kobe Steel has been faking strength and durability reports to hundreds of customers, including Boeing.
Boeing has used Kobe Steel products that include those falsely certified by the Japanese company. Boeing does not consider the issue a safety problem.
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.
