WASHINGTON — A Transportation Department official says Toyota is expected to agree to a fine of $16.4 million for a four-month delay in telling the government about defective gas pedals on its vehicles.
Toyota faces a deadline today to accept or contest the record fine over evidence it knew about sticking gas pedals in September but did not issue a recall until January. The Transportation official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
