Toyota Motor Corp. widened a U.S. recall of its vehicles linked to defective air bags to include some of the same models in Japan and China, after one of the devices ruptured in a car at a scrapyard in its home country.
Toyota will call back about 190,000 autos in the two Asian nations, including the Corolla model, the company said in an e-mail today. All of the vehicles produced during the same period for the U.S. market are already covered by existing safety campaigns there, spokesman Dion Corbett said by phone.
