Toyota may have to recall 2.3 million cars in Europe

IT’S not yet known how many Toyota cars in Ireland are affected by the manufacturer’s latest recall of millions of vehicles because of a sticking accelerator pedal.

The company is to carry out safety adjustments to cars in North America and Europe because of a fault initially identified in a number of cars built towards the end of 2008.

The company may have to recall at least 2.3 million vehicles in Europe and six million vehicles in the US.
