Toyota Halts Shipments of 10 Models Over Testing Failures
TL;DR Summary
Toyota has halted global shipments of 10 vehicle models after discovering irregularities in testing of diesel engines, caused by a subsidiary using software to manipulate horsepower output values. Despite the engines meeting output standards, the company decided to temporarily stop shipping the affected models, including the popular Hilux pickup truck. This is the second production problem to hit Toyota in two months, following recalls and production shutdowns in December, and Daihatsu, a Toyota subsidiary, also facing safety inspection irregularities.
