Toyota’s US operation said 27 January it is stopping sales of some of its top models and will probably have to recall another 1.1 million cars for safety reasons. The company has already recalled 2.3 million cars because of safety concerns over floor mats that could jam the accelerator, but these are part of a larger problem that has seen the company recall 6 million cars for problems linked to acceleration, according to Reuters. The company’s shares fell 2 percent on the Tokyo stock market Wednesday, following the latest news.
