Following the earlier incident of an improper R95 certification process for the DNGA-based cars including the Vios, Axia and Yaris Cross, Daihatsu conducted an internal inspection of its certification operations. The inspection has unveiled another case of an improper certification done, this time involving the Toyota Raize hybrid and Daihatsu Rocky hybrid.
It involves the UN R135 test, where a pole resembling a utility pole or similar object is impacted against the side of the vehicle. In this test, left and right tests must be performed, and the test data must be submitted. What happened was the passenger side test was done properly, but for the driver side test, Daihatsu submitted the passenger side test data instead of the drier side test data.
A total of 78440 cars are affected consisting of 22,329 units of the Rocky hybrid and 56,111 units of the Raize hybrid. As you know there is a lease-only Perodua Ativa Hybrid here in Malaysia that is closer to a Daihatsu fully imported from Japan than a local manufactured Ativa, but we’re not sure if it is affected as Perodua was not mentioned anywhere in the press releases. The Raize/Rocky/Ativa also has a Subaru-badged sibling called the Subaru Rex, but it wasn’t mentioned either. But unlike the Rocky and Raize, the Rex is only offered with a 1.2 litre normally aspirated engine – no e-Smart Hybrid for the Subaru.
Sales of both the Toyota and Daihatsu models have been suspended for now. Daihatsu and Toyota are still in the midst of confirming their next steps and will share more news as it becomes available.

Die buat hal lagi…udah kenapa tetibe semua ade masalah, mcm nak jatuhkan TNGA/ DNGA
Plastic panel issue, not TNGA issue

Dia orang buat suspense sangat la.
Correct bruh. Msia P2 cars not affected at all
Car is cheaper in Malaysia
So people here less matters
Nice
Daihatsu’s DNGA issue, not related to Toyota’s TNGA
Daihatsu belongs to Toyota. Toyota issue.
The chairman mr.toyoda already commissioned his CEO to relook deeply on how certification were done. Re-organize the body that do certification away from quality assurance organisation… TPS principles call for root cause understanding.. not yet done investigation
FYI human do makes mistakes, inclination to greed and ego unless all business organizations run by AI
No wonder I saw an Ativa crumpled like a Coke can during an accident despite its 5 Star ASEAN NCAP rating.
I have more issue on toyota and daihatsu corp principals and core value where they cheat in crash test. The cars may eventually have stellar crash test results but product integrity is questionable when they behave this way. Just like VW diesel scandal – their reputation is tarnished cos the trust is gone.
Like I said before, Daihatsu/Perodua should be given a reality check in terms of sales. Perodua should be reminded why and how they got their first position in Malaysia. Perhaps not being in first position is better for them and more importantly to the customers.
Once a cheater always a cheater. Like the boy who cried wolf. As usual, P2 won’t be affected. Malaysia boleh. DNGA- Don’t Need Geely Anymore.
toyohatsudua following takata biz wickedness?
shh, jepunis cars always right. Just ask all the T and H owners out there.
Toyota, Daihatsu & P2 are Grifters.
DNGA – Don’t Need Grifters Anymore.
Ban Toyota
Ban Daihatsu

Perodua Ativa..omg
Simple. Dont buy todota nowadays. Buy honda! Hurry honda saleman
“Toyota’s CEO for the Asia region Masahiko Maeda told Reuters the problem may have occurred due to the vehicle’s relatively large size” (paultan.org).
Both, the Toyota Raze/Daihatsu Rocky are “relatively large” too (compared with a Kancil).
Funny modern car nowadays got these gimmick issues. Kancil got “no issue” because dun even having any airbags.
Jom beli nissan. Make Nissan great again
What’s next? Lexus?
