TOKYO - TOYOTA on Thursday announced a safety recall of more than 1.5 million vehicles worldwide to fix a brake fluid leak that it warned can gradually diminish braking performance, a spokesman said.
The world's largest auto maker, which was battered by a global safety crisis earlier this year, said it would voluntarily recall 740,000 cars in the United States and 600,000 in Japan to fix the problem.
It was also recalling 50,000 autos in Europe, 60,000 in China, 30,000 in Australia and 50,000 in other Asian nations, said a Toyota spokesman in Japan.
The move is to repair a flaw in which 'a small amount of the brake fluid could slowly leak from the brake master cylinder", which would lead the brake warning lamp to illuminate, Toyota said. LINK
