TOKYO — Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda apologized Monday for massive cheating on certification tests for seven vehicle models as the automaker suspended production of three of them.
The company said the wrongdoing does not affect the safety of the vehicles already on roads, which include the Corolla subcompact and Lexus luxury vehicles.A Japanese government investigation into Toyota began in January. The latest problems don’t pertain to Toyota’s overseas production. About two years ago, certification problems surfaced at Toyota group companies, truck maker Hino Motors and Daihatsu Motor Co., specializing in small models, and Toyota Industries Corp., which makes machinery and auto parts.
“We are not a perfect company. But if we see anything wrong, we will take a step back and keep trying to correct it,” said Toyoda.9 Cars To Stay Away From In Retirement China hands over the keys to the railway as African countries take control of 2 major belt and road projects
