Akio Toyoda Apologizes

 

In a news conference early Friday, Toyota President Akio Toyoda apologized for his company's global recalls and said he will head up a special committee to improve quality control.

Toyoda also said the automaker is still deciding what to do to fix braking problems with the 2010 Prius. Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported yesterday that officials had told them there would be a recall in Japan and the U.S. of more than a quarter-million vehicles.
