On June 3, 2024, Toyota filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an English translation of an announcement that Toyota filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange earlier that day. Toyota’s announcement said that after “investigat[ing] its model certification applications as per instructions from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)”, Toyota discovered that “seven models . . . were tested using methods that differed from the government standards[.]” That same day, The New York Times published an article entitled “Toyota and Other Japanese Carmakers Say They Mishandled Safety Tests.” The article reported that “Toyota [. . .] and other top Japanese automakers [acknowledged] that internal investigations found they had mishandled vehicle testing on dozens of models over the past decade.” Further, “Toyota said it had failed to gather proper data when doing pedestrian and occupant safety tests for three models, including its popular Yaris Cross sport utility vehicle.”
On this news, Toyota’s American depositary share (“ADS”) price fell $5.34 per ADS, or 2.45%, to close at $212.17 per ADS on June 3, 2024.
