![After re-test, Thailand confirms no fault, no recalls needed for Toyota Vios, deliveries resumed 01]()
Thailand’s road transport authority is satisfied with the results of a repeat side-impact testing of the Toyota Vios, which is sold there as the Yaris Ativ. Deliveries will resume immediately, said the company in a press statement released on Friday.
No changes or recall of existing cars on the road is necessary as the Thai authorities have verified Toyota’s claim to be true, that the part used in the production car, which although is not the same part that was used in the first side-impact test results submitted, still meets the mandatory United Nations R95 standards for side-impact protection.

On April-28, Daihatsu revealed that there was ‘procedural irregularities’ with the UN R95 side-impact testing, as the results submitted was done using a component that was different from the one used in the production car.
Deliveries in Thailand were suspended but there was no sales disruption in Malaysia as our JPJ is satisfied with the re-test results submitted, as it was carried out by an independent agency by the Belgian government (Vincotte).
Daihatsu is responsible for the development of the AC100 generation 2023 Toyota Vios. The technical development is led by the Thailand-based Toyota Daihatsu Engineering and Manufacturing, with product planning done by the Toyota-Daihatsu Emerging Market Compact Car (EMCC) internal company.
