Toyota Motor Corp. is facing increasing scrutiny and mandated reforms from the Japanese government after new violations in vehicle certification procedures were revealed, affecting at least seven models, including the RAV4 and Camry. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) found extensive irregularities, leading to a total of 14 models now under investigation, which contradicts earlier internal reports. Despite the misconduct, Toyota has assured customers that none of the vehicles in question are unsafe to drive and have emphasized that the issues were primarily related to clerical errors rather than safety concerns. Toyota's leadership has publicly apologized for the inconveniences caused and pledged to improve its certification processes, which will involve a thorough review of responsibilities and data management. The government has also alerted international agencies regarding the affected models certified abroad. This issue is part of a broader investigation into the automotive industry's compliance with safety regulations, initiated after similar scandals involving other Japanese manufacturers.
