Toyota Motor Corp. is gearing up for a publicity offensive Monday morning, with a senior American executive going on television to discuss solutions to the company’s recalls, as the Japanese auto maker seeks to allay consumer concerns over sudden acceleration of its vehicles.
Jim Lentz, the executive in charge of Toyota’s U.S. sales arm, is scheduled to appear on NBC’s “Today Show” Monday morning, a Toyota spokesman confirmed.
…A U.S. congressional panel is investigating why several years elapsed after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started to get complaints about runaway Toyotas before the Japanese auto maker took action. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has scheduled a Feb. 25 hearing on the matter.
