Toyota to recall 7.4 million cars

Toyota is voluntarily recalling more than seven million vehicles worldwide, including some Yaris, Corolla and Camry models, over faulty window switches, reports the BBC.
It affects 1.39 million cars in Europe – 138,000 in the UK – 2.47 million in the US and 1.4 million in China.
It is the biggest single recall since Ford called back eight million vehicles in 1996.
Toyota said there had been no reports of accidents, injuries or deaths as a result of the window problem.

Toyota is also recalling 459,000 vehicles in Japan, 650,000 in Australia and Asia, as well as hundreds of thousands from across the Middle East, and from within Canada and its other, smaller markets around the world.
The number of vehicles being recalled is roughly the same as its sales for the whole of its last financial year.
The carmaker did not say how much the recall would cost.
Toyota’s latest recall of millions of faulty cars will do little for its already-dented reputation as a manufacturer of quality cars.
