Did Toyota and Daihatsu Cheat on Safety Tests?

There is no official evidence or statement that Toyota and Daihatsu cheated in safety tests. However, there have been reports in the Japanese media that some models of Toyota and Daihatsu were cheated to affect the results of safety tests.

The news began when an auto test center in Japan revealed suspicions that some Toyota and Daihatsu models were cheated during certain tests, such as braking performance and fuel economy. However, no official charges or penalties were brought.

Toyota and Daihatsu are reputable automakers that have always placed great emphasis on safety and quality. These companies have to be completely fair and honest in their security testing, and any cheating would be ethically unacceptable.
