Toyota recalls 3.4 million cars over fuel emission and airbag problems

Car giant Toyota is recalling more than three million vehicles over problems with air bags and fuel emission controls.

The Japanese firm said 1.43 million vehicles are being recalled for air bag defects and another 2.87 million for faulty emissions controls - but it insisted it has not received any reports of injuries or fatalities related to either recall.

Some 932,000 vehicles are involved in both recalls, so the total number affected is 3.37 million.
