By 2012, if automaker chooses to have EDR on board, must be readable but not required to have EDR on board: Strickland.

Strickland says #Toyota has provided NHTSA with 3 readers for "black boxes." But need a Toyota rep to decode data once downloaded.
MickiMaynard
Strickland says #Toyota is unique among carmakers in requiring recall decs to be made in Japan. Cld react faster if someone auth in US.
MickiMaynard
Strickland says #Toyota has been "very responsive" since he's been in office. Has sent 3 large queries on SUA, another on recalls.
MickiMaynard
NHTSA's Strickland says there have been 8 recent investigations into SUA. "A lapdog doesn't open 8 separate investigations."

Strickland defends #NHTSA's probes of #Toyota; "A lapdog doesn't open eight investigations."

#NHTSA's Strickland contends the agency typically gets 30,000 complaints a year, but got 10,000 in February alone.
