JAKARTA - Still related to the hit-test scandal carried out by Daihatsu, Toyota recently announced that it was discontinuing the sale and delivery of one of its models to Thailand.
Reporting from the Bangkok Post, Monday, May 8, the affected model was Yaris Ativ or a twin of Toyota Vios for the Thai market.
Toyota's CEO for the Asian region, Masahiko Maeda, said that the problem occurred due to pressure during the production period of the model.
"If the manufacture is carried out under normal conditions, of course this kind of problem will not happen. It means some kind of pressure at the development site," said Maeda.
Although Toyota Yaris Ativ's sales were stopped, the Japanese brand continued to carry out further investigations into the hit test manipulation scandal carried out by Daihatsu.
