The automaker, Toyota today announced a recall of almost 136,000 compact cars in Japan and Europe to fix a steering problem. The company, which was battered by a global safety crisis earlier this year, said it will recall 65,000 compact iQ and Passo cars in Japan and about 70,800 in Europe, all of them built between 2008 and 2010. A spokesman said the recall was made after it was found that power steering sensors could malfunction when driving over bumps, making steering more heavy. However, he added that there had been no reports of accidents related to the issue. The company said it would replace the necessary software on all cars. Multiple recalls by Toyota this month have come after a series of mass recalls of around 10 million vehicles worldwide, announced in late 2009 and early 2010.
