4Runner & T100 Trucks in Safety Probe

Post by MSI »

May 11, 2010: Oh, will it ever end? Mixed news in the LA Times on Toyota today:
  • 1st the $2.3 billion profit last year and then
    2nd Toyota 4Runner SUVs and T100 trucks in safety probe "Federal regulators launched another safety investigation into Toyota Motor Corp. on Monday, examining whether the automaker delayed disclosing a serious defect in the steering system in 4Runner SUVs and T100 trucks. Toyota is now under at least eight separate federal safety investigations and reviews. A ninth investigation was closed last month, when Toyota agreed to pay a record $16.4-million fine for failing to promptly recall models that had a sticky gas pedal."
