[(Title)] Japan’s Kubota admits falsifying data for metal components.

Tractor-maker Kubota Corp. said Wednesday it had falsified data for metal rolling components, joining other Japanese manufacturers that have admitted in the past year to faulty inspections or data manipulation.

拖拉机制造商久保田公司(Kubota Corp.)周三表示，该公司伪造了有关金属轧制部件的数据，并与去年承认有缺陷的检查或数据操纵行为的日本其他制造商一样。

The products were shipped to 85 steel-makers in Japan and abroad, the company said, but it added that there had been no impact on the quality of the components.

该公司表示，这些产品已运往日本和国外的85家钢铁生产商，但公司补充称，这些产品的质量没有任何影响。

Kubota's revenue from metal rolling components, used in production equipment at steel plants, totalled about ¥4.4 billion ($39 million) in the year ended in March.

截至3月底，久保田从钢铁厂生产设备所用的金属轧制部件获得的收入总额约为44亿日元（3900万美元）。

Kobe Steel Ltd., Japan's No. 3 steel-maker, admitted in October that workers tampered with product specifications, while automakers such as Nissan Motor Co. and Subaru Corp. have said they did not comply with final inspection procedures.

日本第三钢铁制造商神户钢铁有限公司(Kobe SteelLtd.)10月承认，工人篡改了产品规格，而日产汽车(NissanMotorCo.)和苏巴鲁(Subaru Corp.)等汽车制造商则表示，他们未遵守最终检验程序。
