Toyota resumes dispatches of Innova Crysta, Fortuner & Hilux

The certification irregularities did not have any impact on the emissions and safety of the affected vehicles.

Toyota has announced that it has resumed the dispatches of the Innova Crysta, Fortuner and Hilux in India. Last month, dispatches were briefly halted after irregularities were found in the output tests of three diesel engines.

“Toyota has reconfirmed that the diesel engines meet the stipulated Indian regulations. Consequently, the dispatch of Innova Crysta, Fortuner, and Hilux has resumed following a brief temporary suspension. We regret the inconvenience to our esteemed customers. As a customer-centric organisation, we continue to remain committed to delivering the highest quality and safest products,” the official statement reads.

A special investigation committee was tasked to look into potential certification irregularities. The team conducted re-verification tests on mass-produced vehicles and found that they complied with the performance standards and that there was no need to discontinue the use of the affected vehicles.

Earlier, Toyota had clarified that the certification irregularities did not lead to any overstating of horsepower and torque figures and that it did not have any impact on the emissions and safety of the affected vehicles.
