Already by 2010 the situation was settled, as all creditors, except for VTB, agreed to make a restructuring. This bank filed in a Russian court in order to recognize the Taganrog Automobile Plant ruined. However, after Vladimir Putin's intervention, the debt was restructured, and the claim was withdrawn.

In 2012, history repeated itself. But this time the plant decided to declare its bankruptcy independently, having submitted to the arbitration court. The staff cuts began, the budget and the amount of production fell.
