Toyota"s costs related to the recalls and probes are likely to exceed $3.1 billion. Toyota estimated in 2010 that the costs of recalls and lost sales world-wide would be around $2 billion, a figure that didn"t include the latest settlement, its legal fees, fines from the US government and additional floor-mat recalls that came afterward. Toyota declined to disclose a total cost.
Toyota recalled in 2009 and 2010 more than 5.3 million vehicles in the US alone for problems related to ill-fitting floor mats and 2.77 million vehicles for accelerator pedals that could stick. It has been fined more than $66 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for not notifying the agency in a timely manner of problems. Two weeks ago, the agency fined Toyota $17.4 million for not telling the agency about floor-mat issues in a separate recall of its Lexus RX 350.

과오에 대해서는 자기합리화 하고 왜곡하는 것이 그들의 습성이니까요...

그러나...
사상 최대의 합의금을 지불했다고 해서, 운전자의 목숨을 위협하는 불량 자동차를 대량으로 유통시키고,결함 은폐를 시도한 주홍글씨는 없어지지 않겠지요.
