On Monday, March 29, 2010, Toyota Motor Corp discovered that US regulators would be fining the car company $16.4 million for allegedly hiding its gas pedal problems from safety regulators.

Under US law, that is the maximum fine Toyota could receive. For at least four months, Toyota had hid its pedal defect from the Transportation Department. Auto makers are required to inform regulators within five business days. Toyota will have two weeks to respond to the fine.

The US Toyota Recall

Toyota had apparently known about its pedal problems. In January, 2.3 million US vehicles were recalled for a “sticky pedal.” It was thought to be responsible for a sudden acceleration in many of its cars.

Toyota Motor Co. initiated recalls at the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. The first recall occurred on November 2, 2009 to correct an out of place floor mat on the driver’s side thought to slip. The second occurred on January 21, 2010 after crashed showed they were not occurring due to the floor mats. It was then thought to be a sticking accelerator.
