DHAKA: Toyota and Nissan, Japan’s two top automakers, on Thursday said they will recall more than three million more cars globally because of concerns over airbags involved in eight deaths worldwide.

‘Toyota will now globally expand its recalls to involve approximately 2,860,000 additional vehicles equipped with certain front passenger airbag inflators,’ the automaker said in an email.

Nissan said it would recall 198,000 units worldwide, while Mitsubishi also said it would call back 120,000 vehicles.

Airbags made by Japanese parts maker Takata have sparked a global recall crisis for many automakers, reports The Straits Times.
