In a statement, Toyota said that it was working to identify whether non-aluminium products supplied by Kobe Steel, which are used in the automakers` Toyota- and Lexus-branded vehicles, will also meet the standards.

Kobe Steel earlier this month admitted that it had falsified data on product quality and specifications for goods supplied to around 500 customers, rocking supply chains around the world in a fresh blow to Japan`s reputation as a high-quality manufacturer.
