Despite levying (and receiving) a record fine from Toyota for failing to promptly report issues with sticking gas pedals, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he won't rule out additional fines for the same offense.
LaHood made those comments in Japan, with Akio Toyoda standing next to him.
Toyota paid the $16.4 million without admitting to the government's accusation, and said it did so to avoid "a protracted dispute".
But that apparently put blood in the water for the feds to smell. LaHood says by paying the fine, Toyota accepted responsiblity for the violation.
