Toyota is recalling more than 1.4 million cars worldwide over faulty airbags – with some of those also facing fuel tank checks.The Japanese carmaker said almost 2.9 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles were covered by the fuel defect which concerned the possibility of a fire caused by cracks in fuel suction plates.
The airbag recall affects 2010-2012 hybrid Prius and Lexus CT200h cars.
It covers air bag inflators that could have a small crack in a weld, which could lead to the separation of the inflator chambers.
