Mazda and Toyota were fined for having been led to believe on their websites that pick-up BT-50 and Hilux were suitable for carrying passengers in his spare time, but in reality it is trucks and absolutely can not move people. The Competition therefore sanctioned the Mazda and Toyota for misleading information to the detriment of consumers and contrary to the Consumer Code. I therefore come to a fine of 70,000 € to 155,000 € for Mazda and Toyota.
A commercial practice deemed unfair by the Guarantor because BT-50 and Hilux trucks are and can not play any role in transporting people. The Highway Code provides that on trucks, for productive activities, which are also subject to special tax benefits, Passengers are allowed, but only if the workers loading and unloading of goods which are carried on the vehicle. The only exception is when the prefect give permission. The Guarantor, to assess the matter, it is based on an interpretation of the document Department of Transportation already used to sanction the Mitsubishi in a similar case.
Argued that the offending sentence: "The Double Cab model is able to accommodate two people in front and three behind"That"is perfect for small teams of workers or a trip on the weekend". Or was that "further enhanced to meet the after-work activities"And"tireless work, unstoppable for the rest". The two houses have rejected claims by presenting a statement, consider that on a truck carrying people would be allowed, provided that things will always be prevalent. The two manufacturers were obliged to publish a corrective statement in the newspapers Corriere della Sera and The Republic.
