The FBI raided the Detroit-area offices of three key Toyota Motor Corp. suppliers Tuesday night, officials said Wednesday.
Federal agents executed search warrants at the U.S. headquarters of Yazaki North America in Canton Township, Denso Corp. in Southfield and Tokai Rika Co. in Plymouth Township, said Special Agent Sandra Berchtold.
Toyota owns large stakes in Denso and Tokai Rika, and all three companies are major suppliers to the Japanese manufacturer, as well as to Detroit automakers.
The U.S. Justice Department said the raids were related to an international investigation into possible anti-competitive practices by electronic components suppliers.
