The head of Toyota was handed a stark warning just over three years ago of significant problems with the safety of a number of models as the result of cost-cutting and the use of temporary workers, says a media report.
Toyota Motor Corporation President Katsuaki Watanabe called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday, even as the company continues to hold close to the chest cards regarding plans of its second manufacturing unit in India. Official sources said Watanabe, who led a delegation including TMC Managing Director Akira Okabe, briefed Singh generally about the company.
