Toyota Motor Corp is recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the US for various safety problems, including air bags that may fail to deploy.
The Japanese carmaker announced the US recall on Wednesday as part of a broader recall of 6.39 million vehicles - and 27 Toyota models - globally.
In the US, the recall includes 1.3 million vehicles with faulty electrical connections that could cause the air bags to deactivate, and 472,500 small cars with defective springs in the front seat rails, which could prevent the seats from locking in place.
Toyota said it is currently working on remedies for the problems and dealers will replace the defective parts for free when replacement parts are available.
Toyota said no injuries or crashes have been reported related to the recalls.
