Toyota Recalls 270,000 Cars Worldwide – Toyota has declared that it will recall 270,000 cars worldwide due to faulty engine. The recall includes seven luxury Lexus models, which some of them are in the UK, and the popular Toyota Crown.

The most recent quality problem follows the recall of about more than 8m vehicles due to problems with sticking accelerator pedals which was earlier this year. Toyota was fined $16m in the United States for its slow response to the accelerator fault.

Meanwhile, the company is still facing more than 200 lawsuits related to accelerator accidents.

The spokeswoman for the firm said that some vehicles might have problems with the valve spring in their engines which could possibly cause the car to stall while being driven. The defective 4.6-liter V8 and 3.5-liter V6 engines had already been installed in eight top-line models which include some hybrids like Lexus, GS350, GS460, GS460, IS350, LS460, LS600h and LS600L and Crown Sedan.

However, no accidents had been reported due to faulty engine.
