Toyota announced it is recalling 1.43 million vehicles for defective air bags and an additional 2.87 million vehicles for a faulty fuel emissions control. In Wednesday's recall, Toyota said a small crack in some inflators in the air bags on the driver and passenger sides may expand, causing the air bags to partially inflate. The faulty air bags are not related to recent massive recalls of Takata air bags that have ballooned to millions of vehicles and affected nearly all major automakers. It said in seven incidents, side curtain air bags in Prius cars partially inflated without a deployment signal. Some 932,000 vehicles are involved in both recalls, so the total number of affected vehicles is 3.37 million.
