Daihatsu has informed the Ministry of Transport of Japan that it will recall a total of 322,700 two-car models due to door defects found in them.
Also, the company said that the suspension of production at three of the four Japanese factories has been extended until February 16, while considering the possibility of resuming the operation of the Kyoto factory.
Daihatsu reportedly halted production in Japan in December after the company said it had been tampering with safety tests since at least 1989, affecting 64 models.
An independent panel of experts was set up last year to investigate the security scandal, which first came to light in April.
In April, Daihatsu admitted to falsifying crash test results for four models, covering a total of 88,000 cars built in Thailand and Malaysia in 2022 and 2023.
In May, however, the company announced that it was suspending the production of two hybrid models in Japan due to similar violations. Among these models was the Toyota Raize, which was produced for the parent company.
