Toyota global output falls for 7th straight month in August

TOKYO (Reuters) – Toyota Motor’s global production fell 11% in August, declining for a seventh straight month, dragged lower by a typhoon and a certification scandal in Japan and a pause in output for two sport utility vehicles in the United States.

Output for August slumped to 709,571 vehicles with production in its home market tumbling 22%.
