ACCC takes Toyota to task over DPF faults, warranty knockbacks
Toyota has filed a court-enforceable undertaking with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) following ongoing diesel particulate filter warranty complaints – and has, for now, escaped any financial penalty. The action comes a month after a damning independent report was critical of Toyota's diesel particulate filter technology – and amid a class action in which, combined, could cost Toyota millions of dollars in compensation, warranty repairs, and vehicle buy-backs.
