Toyota suspends shipments of 10 models on testing irregularities

TOKYO, Jan 29 (AFP): Toyota said Monday it was suspending shipments of 10 models that use engines linked with testing irregularities at an affiliate company.
The affiliate, Toyota Industries, did not conduct proper horsepower output testing for the certification of three diesel engine models, the parent group said.
The automaker said the models, including the Land Cruiser 300 and HiAce, use the affected engines.
The shipment suspension will affect about 36,500 Toyota vehicles produced every month, the company said.
