Japan to assess and improve auto recall system

The government is likely to assess and improve the vehicle recall system, the country's Ministry of Land and Transport said, after allegations that Toyota Motor Company had received a complaint and delayed an active recall. The Minister of Land and Transport, Seiji Maehara, said he wanted to improve the recall system to better protect the interests of consumers.　　The Ministry of Land and Transport may require car manufacturers to make up for technical flaws as quickly as possible and to increase the types of problems to be reported.　　Toyota has now announced a recall of 800多万辆 cars, most of them in overseas markets. Toyota Motor Company president Akio Toyoda says quality checks are hard to do in an era of outsourcing and global expansion.　　Toyota is committed to strengthening global product quality controls, but denies masking product safety flaws. Analysts believe that national mandatory standards are the last line of defense to protect consumers.　　It is the "recall door" that has been stepped up by regulatory authorities to speed up the repair of regulatory loopholes.　　Toyoda said 19th He will attend the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and the Government Reform Commission 24th on the Toyota recall issue of the hearing, "sincerely" to listen to the direct statement, so that Americans "understand Toyota's ideas." Japan's Toyota Motor Company, which has saved 100 million of billions of dollars, has successfully negotiated with the US government to reduce the recall of certain models with "foot-cushion design flaws", according to the latest media release.
