Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling 6.39 million vehicles globally for faults affecting various parts ranging from steering to seats in the company's second-largest recall to date.
The world's biggest automaker said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the glitches, which were found in 27 Toyota models, including the RAV4 SUV and Yaris subcompact. Toyota said faults were also found in the Pontiac Vibe and the Subaru Trezia, two models the automaker built for General Motors and Fuji Heavy Industries.
The automaker did not say how much the recall would cost and it was not clear if the faults stemmed from Toyota's suppliers or its manufacturing process. "We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and concern brought by this recall announcement," Toyota added in a statement.
