Several Hyundai dealerships in the United States have filed a lawsuit against the automaker’s dealership, saying it forces them to inflate sales figures for electric vehicles. reports Reuters.
The lawsuit alleges that Hyundai Motor America Corp. pressured dealers to use false stock codes when registering vehicles in order to inflate sales figures.
“Instead of organic growth fueled by in-demand vehicles and consumer demand, HMA created a multi-layered scheme to coerce dealers into reporting fraudulent sales,” the document states.
Dealers who agreed to inflate the numbers received dealership discounts on bulk car purchases and other incentives, including stocks of more marketable models. Those who refused to participate in the inflated sales were harassed.
The plaintiffs said one of the Hyundai representative office’s managers explained the need for manipulation over the phone by showing the result “for the press and Koreans.”
Hyundai promised to conduct an internal investigation after learning of the case.
