Toyota's president and U.S. transportation officials are on Capitol Hill today answering questions about a massive recall over gas and brake pedal problems. Toyoda is to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee concerning the safety of the gas pedals. Yesterday, it was his US executive's turn to say sorry.

Toyota has recalled more than eight million vehicles worldwide for problems related to sudden acceleration and unresponsive brake pedals. The Japanese automaker has repeatedly apologized for the safety lapses and is working to repair the recalled vehicles.
