China: Toyota apology to allay concern

Published

Toyota president Akio Toyoda apologised to Chinese consumers yesterday over the company's vehicle recalls and sought to ease quality concerns.

Toyota's woes in China have been limited to a recall of 75 552 RAV4 vehicles due to faulty accelerators, but Toyoda's visit after a gruelling hearing in the US Congress underscores the importance of a country that last year surpassed the US to become the largest car market. - Reuters
