While investigating the type designation application directed by the government, Toyota Motor Corporation discovered that seven vehicle models had been tested using methods that differed from the standards set by the government. The targets are three car models currently in production ( Corolla Fielder / Axio , Yaris Cross ) and four car models that have already discontinued production (Crown, Isis, Sienta, RX).
Toyota deeply apologizes for the concern and inconvenience caused to our customers and related parties. The affected vehicles have been verified in-house to confirm that there are no performance issues as stipulated by law, so existing customers can continue to use the service with peace of mind.
Shipments and sales of the three models currently in production ( Corolla Fielder / Axio , Yaris Cross ) will be temporarily suspended from today, June 3, 2024, and appropriate measures will be taken under the guidance of the government.
Toyota will continue to strive to “make ever-better cars” and aim to be a company trusted by our customers and stakeholders. Once again, we would like to deeply apologize to our customers and everyone involved. I’m telling you.
Toyota Motor Corporation will hold a press conference on June 3, 2024 from 17:00 regarding the above information.
Mr. Akio Toyoda, Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Mashi Miyamoto, General Manager of the Customer First Promotion Department, will be on stage.
