VERBATIM: The faulty testing at Japan’s top automaker involved the use of inadequate or outdated data in collision tests and incorrect testing of airbag inflation and rear-seat damage in crashes. Emissions tests also were found to be falsified. Toyota stopped production Monday of the three models made in Japan, the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio and Yaris Cross.
