There’s a pretty good reasoning for this in the article:
“an independent third-party committee had found evidence of tampering with safety tests on as many as 64 vehicle models, including those sold under the Toyota brand.”

Odd that they put “Toyota-owned automaker” in the headline instead of Daihatsu. Or something like, :“Daihatsu, owned by Toyota”.
Whether the problems go “up the chain” to the parent company is TBD, I guess.

And, presumably other brands that come from Daihatsu plants. Assuming the safety issues are only within Daihatsu facilities, that’s the key information. “Daihatsu, a Toyota subsidiary” or similar conveys the useful information. “Toyota-owned automaker” does not.
As it stands, it sounds like CNN is trying to vaugely imply that the problem applies to Toyota generally, which obvs will get a lot of clicks from people who own Toyotas. That’s sloppy clickbait.

Well you’d have to have gotten a lobotomy to want to buy beats in the first place.
