Failure in Crisis Management? Contd...
As per US federal law, automakers were required to disclose defects within five business days. However, Toyota refuted the allegations that it had violated safety regulations and maintained that it had agreed to pay the fine in order to avoid a dispute.

According to a statement released by the company, "We regret that NHTSA tentatively concluded that they should seek a civil penalty. Toyota denies NHTSA's
allegation that it violated the Safety Act or its implementing regulations. We
believe we made a good faith effort to investigate this condition and develop an
appropriate counter-measure. We have acknowledged that we could have done a
better job of sharing relevant information within our global operations and
outside the company, but we did not try to hide a defect to avoid dealing with a
safety problem. Toyota is already moving ahead with a number of important steps
to strengthen our quality assurance operations and enhance our ability to meet
customer expectations."3
