Toyota Motor and Nissan Motor are recalling more than 6.5 million cars globally to replace potentially faulty airbag inflators made by Takata Corp. Toyota said today it would recall about 5 million Corolla, Vitz/Yaris and other models worldwide to replace Takata airbag inflators.
The recall involves 35 models including 1.36 million cars in Japan, 1.27 million in Europe, 637,000 in the U.S. and 18,000 in Canada, the company said in an email.
Toyota said it will replace the affected front driver-side airbag inflators with newly manufactured parts produced by Daicel Corp. Takata will supply the replacements for front passenger-side airbag inflators because compatible parts from a different supplier are not available, Toyota said.
