Safety Tests For Latest Perodua Axia Were Rigged Daihatsu Admits


 


Toyota Motor Corp affiliate Daihatsu rigged part of the door in side-collision safety tests carried out for some 88,000 small cars, most of which were sold under the Toyota brand, including Perodua Axias manufactured in Malaysia, the companies said yesterday.
They said the door trim on the affected vehicles had been modified with a "notch" to minimise the risk in testing that the door interior could break with a sharp edge and cause injury to an occupant when the side airbag deployed in an accident.
The modification for testing was not part of the production vehicle, the companies said.
Toyota chairperson Akio Toyoda said the companies were investigating how the side panel of Yaris and other models had been changed for safety testing and apologised for what he called an "unacceptable" violation of consumer trust.
Toyota said it had not received any report of an accident or injury related to the rigged side-crash test.
It was not immediately clear who rigged the doors for crash testing, how widespread the knowledge of the action had been within Daihatsu, and whether senior managers approved the step.
"We'll proceed with a detailed investigation from here on, but promise to decisively understand what happened at the site, investigate the true intentions, and sincerely work to prevent a recurrence," Toyoda told reporters.
"We're going to need some time to do that," he said.
Daihatsu said it discovered the rigged safety test after a whistleblower report. It said it reported the issue to regulatory agencies and stopped the shipment of affected models.
The affected models include Toyota Yaris Ativs made in Thailand from last August, and Perodua Axias manufactured in Malaysia starting in February.
Of the 88,000-plus vehicles, some 76,000 were Yaris models mainly bound for Thailand, Mexico, and Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Daihatsu said.
About 11,800 affected vehicles were Axias manufactured by Daihatsu at a joint venture plant it runs with Malaysian automaker Perodua. Those cars were sold in Malaysia.
The Gulf Cooperation Council comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.
Daihatsu said it will run new safety tests in the presence of regulators and confirm the safety of the models before resuming shipments.
The discovery of the rigged safety test is the first crisis for Toyota President Koji Sato, who took over the top job from Toyoda on April 1.
"We have to find the cause of what happened, including examining the environment in which it happened, and, once we've confirmed that, to take appropriate action to address the underlying cause," Sato said.
Toyoda, who was Toyota president in 2010 when a string of recalls prompted US investigations, said he wanted all Toyota employees and those at affiliates to understand that "making better cars" required a commitment to speak out about problems.
"We can't run away from this or hide," he said.
Daihatsu, which specialises in the production of small cars, became a wholly owned Toyota subsidiary in 2016 when Toyoda was president.
The incident comes at a time when Toyota has been ramping production back up from restrictions imposed by a shortage of semiconductors, facing pressure to move faster to roll out new and cost-competitive electric vehicles and dealing with a sales slump in China, a key market.
