DHAKA: Japanese car giant Toyota Motor said on Wednesday it was recalling some 370,000 vehicles worldwide over glitches that could cause them to stop mid-journey.

The world’s biggest auto maker said around 170,000 units were being recalled because bolts pinning a valve control system inside the engine could become loose.

In the worst case scenario, the glitch could stop the engine, it added.

The recall affects Crown, Mark X, and various Lexus models built in Japan between July 2005 and July 2011, a spokeswoman said, reports The Straits Times.
