NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into whether Toyota Motor Co. delayed telling investigators in 2005 that a known defect on compact trucks in Japan was also a problem in the United States.
Toyota (TM) later recalled the trucks in the U.S. for a steering relay rod that was prone to cracking.
