Toyota said in Tokyo that it is recalling about 420,000 vehicles globally over a faulty engine, The Associated Press reported.
The recall mostly affects vehicles sold in Japan across 12 model lines manufactured in 2001, but it also includes about 150,000 cars sold overseas, mainly in the United States and Canada, a Toyota spokeswoman said. These autos were also manufactured in 2001.
In the United States, 24,490 cars sold under the name Echo and Yaris, as well as 8,476 Prius vehicles, are affected by the recall, she said.
The problem involves a faulty engine part which could lead to an oil leak in the engine and cause it to stop, Toyota said in a statement. There have been no accidents as a result of the fault.
