Toyota North America recalls more vehicles

Toyota Motor North America announced on Tuesday it was expanding its safety recall involving Takata front passenger air bag inflators as required by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The expansion involves approximately 601,300 additional vehicles in the United States, Toyota said. Takata and its US entity TK Holdings Inc filed for bankruptcy in June. The Japanese auto-parts giant said it was recalling more than 100 million of its air bag inflators across the world through the end of 2019. By the end of November 2017, 19 automakers had recalled 46 million Takata inflators in 34 million US vehicles, according to NHTSA.
