But now, this good performance is heavily overshadowed by the shenanigans of its subsidiary Daihatsu, involved in some 174 cases of falsification in 25 safety test categories, according to an independent investigation carried out after other major irregularities detected last spring.
No less than 64 models are affected by this large-scale cheat dating back to 1989. This pushed Daihatsu to stop deliveries of its vehicles, production of which reached 1.1 million in the first 10 months of the year.

Toyota seems to be in trouble since the truck manufacturer Hino, in which Toyota has more than 50% of the capital, was also caught red-handed a year ago, this time having distorted performance tests on its engines on its entire range.
