Toyota to oversee Daihatsu's model certification following safety testing scandal.

Toyota will oversee model certification at its subsidiary Daihatsu after a safety testing scandal. Daihatsu President Masahiro Inoue said Toyota Motor Corp. will take a leadership role in various areas, including product development and procurement, to regain trust among dealers, customers, and workers. Daihatsu faced allegations of widespread cheating on safety testing, leading to a halt in vehicle shipments and a government-ordered production halt.
