TOKYO--Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling 7.43 million vehicles globally due to a potential fire risk with power window switches, including 2.47 million vehicles sold in the U.S.
The recall affects cars made between July 2005 and May 2010--including the Camry, Corolla and RAV4 SUV--sold in Japan, North America, Europe, China, the Middle East and Oceania, the company said.
Japan's biggest auto maker called it the largest recall ever for a single part, although it is second to the 7.7 million vehicles Toyota recalled worldwide in 2009 and 2010 targeting floor mats. The company maintains that wasn't technically a recall in some markets, but rather, a "safety campaign."
This latest recall comes just as Toyota's sales in the U.S. had begun to recover from the black eye it received two years ago after being slow to recall more than 5 million vehicles to fix loose floor mats, and 2.2 million cars and light trucks for accelerator pedal upgrades.
Toyota, which said it knows of no accidents stemming from the faulty parts, blamed sticky power window control switch circuitry on the driver's seat door panel, which can melt if lubricants are misapplied.
