Toyota Recalling 2.27 Million Vehicles Globally Over an airbag system defect

One of the giant automobile companies Toyota on Wednesday said it was recalling 2.27 million vehicles globally over an airbag system defect that could cause a fire, the latest in a series of callbacks by the world’s biggest automaker.
The company, which has presently recalled about nine million vehicles in the past two months, they also said that the announcement covers about 20 models, including its Corolla sedan and Yaris subcompact.
The fire risk from the defect covers about 1.62 million cars abroad and 650,000 in Japan, Toyota said.
“There is a risk that the airbag container could break down and scatter around, which could cause fire or injuries,” the carmaker said in a statement submitted to Japan’s transport ministry on Wednesday.
We believe it has not gotten to Nigeria yet, but also urge you to hold off a little bit before buying any of the latest Toyota products
