A safety test scandal at Japanese automakers expanded as Toyota Motor and Mazda suspended shipments due to irregularities found in certification applications by Japan's transport ministry. Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha Motor were also found to have submitted incorrect test data. Toyota temporarily halted shipments of three car models made in Japan. The issue, involving fraud and manipulation of test data by automakers, is causing concern ahead of Toyota's annual general meeting as influential proxy advisory firms are urging against re-electing its chairman. The scandal, involving various automakers, has led to apologies from responsible individuals and temporary halts in vehicle sales.
