Toyota Motor’s Daihatsu unit on Wednesday said it has no time frame available for when it can resume domestic factory operations after it halted all production last month over irregularities on safety test results for its vehicles.
A Daihatsu spokesperson also told reporters that Toyota has been helping review Daihatsu’s business restructuring.oyota said on Tuesday that it plan to announce in about a month steps to overhaul Daihatsu, its small-car specialist, after an investigation into misconduct at its unit related to rigged collision-safety tests found issues going back decades.
On Tuesday, Daihatsu received a rectification order regarding procedural irregularities from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Toyota said it will fully support Daihatsu not only in reviewing its certification operations but also in making fundamental changes in its corporate culture and management so that the car maker can once again be trusted and chosen as a company of choice.
