Toyota President Apologizes for Crisis

Akio Toyoda, grandson of Toyota’s founder and current president of Toyota Motor Corp., apologized for the current recalls involving some 6 million vehicles in the U.S. alone.

“”I offer my apologies for the worries,” he said. “Many customers are wondering whether their cars are OK.” He also called the situation a “crisis” for the company.

Industry anaylysts in Japan noted that the news conference was not only hastily put together, but also comes too late in terms of damage control.
