The automotive industry's price war has triggered a ripple effect of cost pressures moving up the supply chain, ensnaring automotive steel in a vicious cycle of low-price, low-quality competition. Issues like body cracking, rusting, and blistering have become increasingly commonplace, with a corresponding surge in quality-related complaints. In an effort to rein in costs, automakers are slashing steel procurement prices, compelling suppliers to compromise on material standards to win contracts. Consequently, substandard steel is making its way into the production line, becoming the primary culprit behind the deterioration in vehicle body quality.
