Toyota recalls 3.37 million hybrid cars over airbag and fuel emission issues

[Seshu_]

Toyota, the Japanese car maker, said it was recalling millions of car worldwide and thousands in the UK over defective airbag concerns and fuel emissions control units.

Toyota and Lexus will conduct a recall involving certain Toyota Prius, Auris and Lexus CT200h models which affects 72,885 vehicles in the UK.

Affected vehicles are equipped with an evaporative fuel emissions control unit, mounted in the fuel tank. A crack could develop in the canister and may expand over time, eventually leading to a fuel leak when the car has a full tank of petrol.

Some 34,135 cars, which may also be affected with the previous issue, could have a small crack in some inflators in the airbags in the driver and passenger sides.

This may expand, causing the airbags to partially inflate and explode.

The incident could lead to an increased risk of injury if the passenger is in the car when that happens, Toyota said.

The company said it had so far not received any report of accidents linked to either of the issues.

The recall of 2.87 million Toyota cars over a possible fault in emission control units on Wednesday, followed a separate announcement on Tuesday that 1.43 million cars also needed airbag repairs.

Both recalls amount to a total of 3.37 million vehicles worldwide.

The recall includes 495,000 cars in the US, and 743,000 in Japan as well as vehicles in Europe and China.
