Daihatsu, a unit of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp., has shut down production lines at all its four factories in Japan while transport ministry officials investigate improper tests for safety certifications.

The recall covers a range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles with model years from 2020 to 2022.

None of the models tested earned a good rating in a front crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Assembly lines at Toyota’s auto plants in Japan are shut down over a computer system problem.

Toyota has commanded a roughly 40% share of the American midsize pickup truck segment since 2019 when Ford Motor and Jeep re-entered the market.

Japan’s top automaker Toyota says it has identified how to fix its 2023 model year bZ4X crossover electric vehicles after recalling 2,700 of them in June out of concern wheel bolts might become loose, risking a crash.
