TORRANCE, Calif. -

Toyota is recalling more than 6 million vehicles worldwide in five actions covering nearly 30 different models. Of those actions, two impact the U.S.

According to a statement from Toyota Motor Corp. posted to Bloomberg.com, the five recalls tally up to 6.76 million vehicles spanning 27 Toyota models, the Pontiac Vibe and Subaru Trezia. The statement explains that with some models included in more than one action, the official number of units to be fixed is 6.39 million. The automaker also said in the statement that it doesn’t know of any crashes, injuries or deaths from these issues.

Toyota Motor Sales USA provided Auto Remarketing a numbers breakdown of the five issues being addressed, only the top two of which impact the U.S.

Below are the global numbers of vehicles affected by these actions:

— Spiral cable: 3.5 million

— Seat track: 2.32 million

— Steering column bracket: 760,000

— Windshield wiper motor: 169,000

— Starter motor: 20,000

Here’s how that shakes out in the U.S., per a pair of statements this morning from Toyota Motor Sales USA. The Torrance, Calif.-based company’s statement said TMS has taken two actions and is recalling a litany of vehicles for the issues explained below:

Spiral cable: The recall involves 1.3 million vehicles that include certain model-year 2009-2010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2008-2010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Tacoma, 2006-2008 RAV4 and 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles.

“The driver’s airbag module in the involved vehicles is attached to a spiral cable assembly with electrical connections that could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.  If this occurs, the air bag warning lamp will illuminate,” TMS said in its statement. “In addition, the driver’s air bag could become deactivated, causing it to not deploy in the event of a crash.”

The company went on to note that it is not aware of any injuries or fatalities caused by the issue and said it is currently readying the remedy.

“For all involved vehicles, a Toyota dealer will replace the spiral cable with an improved one. Once preparations are complete, Toyota will send an owner notification letter by first class mail and the remedy will be provided at no charge,” the company said.

Seat track: For this issue, TMS is recalling  approximately 472,500 vehicles that include certain model year 2006-2010 Yaris Hatchback vehicles (approximately 158,000); certain Model Year 2007-2010 Yaris Sedan vehicles (approximately 250,500); and certain Model Year 2008-2010 Scion xD vehicles (approximately 64,000).    

“In the seat rail of the driver seat of the involved vehicles and also the front passenger seat of three-door models, the springs used for the mechanism which lock the seat rail in its adjusting positions could break,” TMS said.

“This can happen if the seat is adjusted forward and/or rearward with high frequency.  If a seat rail spring breaks, the seat may not lock into the adjusted position.  If the vehicle is operated with a broken seat rail spring, the seat could move in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant,” it added.

There are two things a vehicle occupants may find if the issue has impacted his or her car, as listed by the company:

— If both of the springs have broken, the seat will not lock into the adjusted position.

— In limited instances, if a spring has broken and becomes stuck in the seat rail, the seat may only be capable of forward movement.  

Toyota said it does not know of any accidents or injuries caused by this issue.

The company, again, is getting the fix for this issue ready. When that happens, impacted owners will be notified via first class mail. Once available, customers can have their seat track assembly replaced at no charge.
