Top executives at Toyota Motor’s compact-car unit Daihatsu will step down, weeks after the carmaker suspended all shipments due to a safety scandal investigation. In April last year, Daihatsu said it had rigged side-collision safety tests carried out for 88,000 small cars, most of which were sold as Toyotas.
By December, however, investigators had found that the scope of the scandal was far greater and went back much further, affecting Toyota’s Mazda and Subaru brands as well.
