Toyota recalls 1.75 million cars

The latest brake defect is found in some models of Toyota’s Crown Majesta, as well as the Noah and Voxy models produced between June 2007 and 2012. Toyota told the BBC it was not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this defect. The firm has refused to comment on how much the latest recall will cost it.

In an email to the BBC, the carmaker offered a breakdown of its recall into three separate issues. Toyota said approximately 802,000 vehicles globally had a faulty brake system, which could crack and result in the brake fluid leaking. This recall affects the Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy models produced between June 2007 and June 2012.
