Toyota to recall 7.43 million vehicles due to faulty power window switch

Japan’s Toyota on Wednesday announced a global recall of 7.43 million vehicles, including its popular Camry and Corolla models, over a possible fire risk, in a fresh blow to the firm’s reputation for safety.

The country’s biggest automaker ordered the recall, which amounts to slightly more vehicles than it sold worldwide in its fiscal year to March, because of a fault with its electric windows.

“There is a defect in the driver’s side power-window switch, which can cause earlier wear in the switch and lead to it malfunctioning,” a Tokyo-based company spokeswoman told AFP.

The recall will include some Yaris and Corolla models on which the power window switches can be repaired in about 40 minutes, the company said.
