Toyota Motor Corporation Probe Is On

The U.S. government expects to meet its late-year deadline for determining whether throttles or other electronic systems could be linked to unintended acceleration in Toyota Motor Corp vehicles, a senior safety investigator said on Tuesday.

“We’re working hard to get this to you,” Richard Boyd, acting director of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s defect investigations unit, told the chair of a science panel that is looking at unintended acceleration industrywide, not just in Toyotas.

“It will be sooner rather than later,” Boyd said at a public meeting of the National Academy of Science.
