recent crash test scandal involving its affiliate DaihatsuTo recall, Toyota found out that its affiliate, Daihatsu, has been rigging vehicles to perform better during side-impact tests. The vehicles involved include the Toyota Yaris Ativ made in Thailand, the Perodua Axia made in Malaysia, and the Toyota Agya made in Indonesia.
The affected vehicles had been modified with a notch to minimize the risk in testing that the door interior could break with a sharp edge and cause injury to an occupant when the side airbag deployed in an accident. As the carmaker scrambles to rectify the issue, Thailand and Malaysia are taking two vastly different approaches to the matter., Toyota Thailand has announced the temporary suspension of sales and deliveries of the Yaris Ativ there due to the incompleteness of its side-impact test preparation . It will only commence deliveries and sales once the test has been successfully done in the presence of regulators.
However, Toyota Thailand will not be issuing any recall, stating that all 36,890 Toyota Yaris Ativ models delivered to Thai customers pass the UN-R95 standard. They will not take any corrective action on the matter., Perodua in Malaysia is holding onto an internal Daihatsu document certifying that the Perodua Axias passes the UN-R95 test based on “parts manufactured for the model.” As such, it will not issue a recall nor stop the sale of the model as they deem it “safe.
So far, both of these vehicles are not yet for sale in the Philippines. However, the all-new Wigo, which shares its basic platform with the Perodua Axia and Toyota Agya, will be launched in the next few months.
