Toyota Halts Shipments and Faces Testing Scandals

Japanese transport officials raided a Toyota-affiliated plant after the company admitted to cheating on engine testing, while Toyota Motor Corp. reported selling over 11 million vehicles in 2023. The raid targeted a Toyota Industries Corp. plant in central Japan, and Toyota Chair Akio Toyoda vowed to steer the company out of scandal and ensure the group's commitment to making good cars. The subsidiary produces parts for Toyota vehicles and factories, including engines for several popular models.
