Tokyo — The irregularities were also found in applications from Honda , Suzuki and Yamaha Motor, the ministry said. The automakers were found to have submitted incorrect or manipulated safety test data when they applied for certification of the vehicles. The ministry ordered Toyota , the world’s biggest carmaker by the number of vehicles sold, Mazda and Yamaha to suspend shipments of some vehicles.
The scandals at the automakers are proving to be a sore point for the Japanese government, which has otherwise earned praise from investors and executives for its corporate reforms. Government spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi called the misconduct “regrettable.” Shares fall Toyota said its wrongdoing had occurred during six different tests conducted in 2014, 2015, and 2020.
