The Japanese carmaker Toyota is recalling 6.4 million vehicles globally, including 35,124 in the UK, over five separate issues. Some 3.5 million vehicles are being recalled to replace a spiral cable attached to the driver's side airbag. It may be damaged when the steering wheel is turned and result in the airbag not being deployed in a crash. Other issues include problems with seat rails, steering columns, windscreen wipers and a glitch with the engine starters that poses a fire risk. Toyota said it was not aware of any vehicle crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by these conditions.
