Toyota Halts Shipment of 10 Vehicle Models Due to Engine Data Manipulation

Toyota has halted shipments of 10 vehicle models due to manipulated engine testing data, affecting models such as the Land Cruiser 300 and Hilux. The irregularities were discovered in the horsepower output testing for three diesel engine models used in various automobiles. Toyota Industries Corp., an affiliate of Toyota, was found to have used software inconsistent with mass production to manipulate the results. The affected engines were found to meet output standards in subsequent tests, but Toyota has apologized for the inconvenience caused and will suspend shipments of affected engines and vehicles temporarily.

Starship's Ship 25 undergoes engine testing while launch pad construction progresses.

SpaceX has begun engine testing for Ship 25, the ship that will fly on the second launch of Starship, and is approaching the final stretch of completing the foundation work needed at the orbital launch mount (OLM) from where Super Heavy and Starship are set to lift off again no earlier than August. Work is also at a good pace to upgrade and update Starship’s production facilities at Starbase. However, plans for Starship in Florida have changed once more, with work on the second set of tower sections, chopsticks, carriage system, and QD arm at SpaceX’s Roberts Road facility coming to a halt.
