Nissan says its factory audits will 'ramp up': Frustrated dealers see move as unjustified

摘要

Nissan will step up factory audits of its dealerships next year as the company attempts to bring itself more in line with peers in the industry. Nissan declined to specify the level of auditing it wants to reach. A retailer who was briefed by the automaker told Automotive News last week that Nissan aims to audit about 10 percent of its retail network, compared with its audit level of about 2 to 3 percent in previous years. Nissan North America spokesman Travis Parman confirmed that Nissan will "modestly ramp up" audits in fiscal 2021, which starts April 1.
