    Since the CTS pedals are the ones with the problems, they need to give Denso the monopoly on supply!

    "A person familiar with the antitrust investigation said it involves possible discussions among the parts suppliers, not the safety of the parts themselves."

    aaaaaaannnndddd.... this has nothing to do with Toyota. The FBI raided 3 parts suppliers they suspected of illegal antitrust practices. One of the three happens to supply parts to Toyota. Who do the other two supply parts to? I'd be willing to bet a few other automotive companies. Yet Toyota is the big news right now, so if a paper can work them into an unrelated article, they will - because it'll sell.
