Toyota Vietnam has announced that an Independent Third-Party Committee was established after Daihatsu Japan reported abnormalities in its certification procedures on April 28, 2023. The committee has thoroughly investigated the matter.

On December 20, 2023, in Japan, Daihatsu reported the findings and investigation process to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry of Japan after receiving the investigation results from the Independent Committee. Daihatsu/Toyota and the Independent Committee held separate press conferences to provide updates on this issue.

The investigation focused on 64 car models that are currently being produced and developed. These car models include both Daihatsu branded vehicles and models developed or supplied for the Toyota brand and other brands.

Following the press conference in Japan, Toyota Vietnam proactively suspended the transfer of all vehicles related to Daihatsu to dealerships on the afternoon of December 20. This was done to confirm more specific information for the Vietnamese market. After a detailed investigation into the aforementioned abnormalities, Toyota Vietnam announced that only one affected model, Avanza Premio (MT), will be halted in Vietnam.

The investigation results from the Independent Third-Party Committee revealed that during emissions and fuel consumption testing conducted abroad, an inappropriate modification was found on the Avanza Premio MT model. However, in Vietnam, all Avanza Premio models comply with testing regulations and are certified to meet Vietnamese standards.

Currently, Toyota Vietnam has temporarily ceased the delivery of Avanza Premio MT models to dealerships. The certification of this model in foreign countries is under independent review by testing and certification agencies. Toyota Vietnam has promptly reported this case to management agencies to provide an explanation and seek opinions on the matter.

The company will consider resuming the delivery of Avanza Premio MT models after receiving information from independent testing and certification agencies abroad.
