Toyota Significantly Expands Number of Event Data Recorder Readout Devices in North America


TORRANCE, California – Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it has expanded the number of Event Data Recorder (EDR) readout devices in North America and the U.S. territories to 150 and is actively training internal and field staff on their use.

EDR records specific vehicle information in the event of air bag deployment or sufficient impact, and this data is intended to help understand how a vehicle’s various systems functioned in a crash. The new readout units, along with other vehicle diagnostic tools, will be used to assist in accident investigations and, where appropriate, the evaluations of reports of unintended acceleration where there was impact or vehicle damage.

“By increasing the number of Event Data Recorder readout devices and training more staff across the country , Toyota is better prepared to respond to customer concerns quickly and address  their needs more effectively”.
