Japanese carmaker Toyota has announced that it will temporarily halt the delivery of some diesel models after irregularities were found during performance tests. According to a statement released on Monday, the tests for the certification of three diesel models were found to be flawed.

These engines are developed by the subsidiary Toyota Industries Corporation (Tico) and used worldwide in ten models, including the pick-up Hilux and the SUV Land Cruiser 300.

Despite the irregularities, Toyota assured that all produced vehicles and engines still meet the standards for engine performance. Therefore, there is no need to cease the use of the affected models.

The car manufacturer apologized to its customers for the inconvenience.

This is not the first incident regarding product safety at Toyota. Last month, the subsidiary Daihatsu temporarily halted the delivery of all their vehicle models due to safety deficiencies and recall campaigns.

These incidents once again raise questions about quality control at Toyota.

Although the recent incident of Toyota was reported as temporary, the impact on the automaker's image could be serious. Toyota is known for its high quality and reliability and enjoys a positive reputation among customers worldwide.

However, such incidents could impair trust in the brand and its products.

For investors, this may mean uncertainty regarding Toyota's stock values. It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the company's financial figures.

In light of recent events, it is also important to monitor the quality control processes at Toyota and ensure that such irregularities are avoided in the future.

Overall, it is a difficult time for Toyota and its customers, but hopefully it is only temporary. The company is committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure that its products meet the highest quality standards.

It is important for customers to know that their safety and satisfaction continue to be Toyota's highest priority.
