Toyota Motor Company bears the responsibility and financial burden of this fiasco. If the US government finds them guilty of something, which they will not, they can place fines on the corporation that will have to pay, in addition to coming up with some useless regulations. That's about it.
If CEO masterminded the plan where he wanted to kill thousands of Americans by giving them ****** gas pedals, and messing with their brakes then yea he could be held liable. But as far as the law goes, Corporation is it's own entity, that bears its on responsibility. The few times that CEO's are indicted for crimes of the corporations have been described above.
