The Japanese government repremanded Toyota, the nation largest company,on
Friday and called for improved recall practices amid a criminal
investigation into a 2004 accident. The transportation ministry issued a
"guidance" order requiring the automaker to report to the ministry by Aug
4 steps it is taking to better monitor reports of defects. I still think
Toyota's are one of the best cars in the world. It just shows that that
the Japanese govt. still cares about the quality of their products.
