Toyota has announced it will recall 270,000 cars worldwide because of an engine fault. A Toyota spokesman said the recall included seven luxury Lexus models and the popular Toyota Crown. The latest quality problem follows the recall of more than 8 million vehicles which had problems with sticking accelerator pedals earlier this year. The company was fined 16 million dollars in the United States for its slow response to the accelerator fault. The company is still facing more than 200 lawsuits tied to accelerator accidents.
