![Shipment of Perodua and Toyota cars in Malaysia to be suspended following latest Daihatsu safety test irregularity fiasco 01]()
Daihatsu is embroiled in another safety compliance issue, this time encompassing a total of 64 models (including currently produced, developed, or discontinued) across its Japan and international markets. Yes, this also involves Toyota and Perodua cars sold in Malaysia.
To surmise, this issue is seperate from what happened back in April (door lining irregularity) and May (side collision test irregularity). A recent investigation by an independent third-party committee revealed 174 new problems within 25 test categories, and as such, the audit committee has saw the need to immediately suspend deliveries of Daihatsu-developed models within Japan and overseas.
