$16.4M Fine Issued for Toyota Motors

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Federal safety regulators said Monday that they intend to fine Toyota Motor $16.4 million for for failing to disclose problems with sticky accelerator pedals to consumers at an early time. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration disclosed that Toyota was at fault in failing to disclose the problems earlier, causing a 4-month delay in informing Toyota car owners of the massive recall. Toyota knew in September that it had a problem with accelerator pedals that required fixing, but failed to recall 2.3 million vehicles until January. The $16.375 million penalty is the maximum NHTSA can levy under law. Congress increased the penalties in 2000. Previously, its largest fine was $1 million against General Motors in 2004 for failing to disclose a defect with windshield wipers in 600,000 vehicles for more than two years. Toyota could face more fines in the long run. If you’re a reader who owns a Toyota vehicle, we highly recommend that you check the Official Toyota Recall List 2010 website for more information on the affected models of vehicles affected by the massive recall. $16.4M Fine Issued for Toyota Motors is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →

Duke Blue Devils NCAA 2010 Champions

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

This just in. Duke won over Butler 61-59 on the 2010 NCAA Championship Game. The Blue Devils just collected their 4th NCAA Championship Title this year. Gordon Hayward of the Butler Bulldogs attempted to seal the game with a desperate 3-pointer, but the ball bounced off the rim at the buzzer. Matt Howard then collapsed at halfcourt, covering his face with his hands. Howard played despite being knocked loopy by a concussion in Saturday night’s semifinal win over Michigan State. Congratulations to the 2010 NCAA Champions. It was such an exciting game until the end of the season. Duke Blue Devils NCAA 2010 Champions is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →
