Remember that possible $16.4-million dollar fine that Toyota might possibly have to pay? The NHTSA and DOT are reporting that they’re going to fine Toyota the full amount, for knowing about the danger posed to millions of drivers for months before telling federal investigators and announcing the recall. The NHTSA says its still investigating Toyota to determine if more fines will be levied or not. According to AutoBlog, Toyota has 2 weeks to accept the fine and pay up, or contest it. This is the largest fine ever given to an automaker.
