A Honda senior executive took a swipe at Hyundai-Kia for inflating fuel-economy claims on several models.
"It lowers the level of trust customers have for our industry," said John Mendel, executive vice-president automobile sales at American Honda Motor Co. Inc.
Carmakers must never "betray the trust of our customers and society," Mendel said during a speech to the Automotive News World Congress, held recently in Detroit.
In November, automakers Hyundai and Kia admitted that their fuel-economy ratings of 13 nameplates from the 2011-13 model years were inflated.
That accounted for about 900,000 sold vehicles.
