“Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) began recalling about 7.43 million vehicles worldwide after the company detected a possible flaw that could lead the power-window switch to melt or catch fire.
The recall affects about 2.47 million vehicles in the U.S., 1.4 million in China and 1.39 million inEurope, said Joichi Tachikawa, a Tokyo-based spokesman. The Corolla and Camry are among the 14 models — some produced as far back as 2007 — subject to inspection and repair, he said. The company hasn’t received any reports of accidents because of the issue, he said.
