Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda apologized at news conference in Tokyo, yesterday for massive cheating on certification tests for seven models as Toyota suspended production of three of them

The wide-ranging fraudulent testing at Japan’s top automaker involved the use of inadequate or outdated data in collision tests, and incorrect testing of airbag inflation and rear-seat damage in crashes. Engine power tests were also found to have been falsified. 

Toyota suspended production in the country of the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio and Yaris Cross. The deceptive tests were also found on discontinued models.


I'm shocked that after the 2009 death in Santee, that Toyota risked ANY thing that might result in bad publicity

    Good thing for him that the Japanese don't still practice seppuku when they have to apologize for something they did wrong.
