I think they're just saying that to make sure that they can sell whatever inventory they have on hand. Anyway time will tell. Daihatsu saying that they will not be shipping any cars globally means that their supply of new cars will run out.
    but if the country it is being sold in, has no such rules...

    Strange yung sales sa source country (Thailand and Indonesia) mismo ng mga PH models affected pero tuloy pa rin ang sale sa PH...

    Toyota DNGA-based models have safety issues anew

    Earlier this year, Toyota's Daihatsu brand was found to have rigged its safety tests in almost all models it currently has in production. Those included Toyota-branded models such as the Avanza, Raize, Rush, Veloz, Vios, and the Wigo. The rigged side collision and door lining safety tests affected around 88,000 vehicles in a previous report.

    The DNGA-based models such as the Avanza, Raize, Rush, Veloz, Vios, Wigo, and even the all-new Yaris Cross are included on the list. However, units exported to the Philippines are not affected and as such, sales and shipments of the models should continue.

    The affected markets include Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Meanwhile, Central and South American countries of Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Uruguay are also included.

    Tatlong articles na nabasa ko mentioned Daihatsu will suspend ALL shipments. Bakit sinasabi sa Autoindustriya article na sa Philippines, sales and shipments of the models should continue (dahil hindi daw affected?!).

    It seems that not all variants even those produced at the same plant (or atleast was validated to be in compliance with the respective destination's regulations)are affected?

    EDIT: I wish someone fluent in japanese can summarize what is fudged on what vehicle. The Machine Translation seems to suggest the cheating goes from bad(using left side result of a side pole crash test for both sides) to purely unnecessary(falsified fuel ballast type and amount even though actual values are accepted by the test protocol)

    Machine translation for those interested

    Toyota/Daihatsu scandal: Corolla and Yaris Cross production halted

    According to the reports, the model certification issues involve inadequate data in pedestrian and occupant protection tests for three models—the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio, and Yaris Cross—which are currently in production
    Toyota Australia has halted local deliveries of the Yaris Cross SUV

    A pause has been placed on local deliveries of the Toyota Yaris Cross, following an investigation into fraudulent certification data in Japan.

    Toyota confirmed deliveries of the Yaris Cross have been temporarily halted in Australia in the wake of the admissions, with Japanese authorities placing a stop on exports of some models involved as a result.
