Toyota recalls another 1.1 million cars in US

Recalled by Toyota Toyota has announced the recall of an additional 1.1 million cars in the US over concerns about accelerator pedals getting stuck on floor mats.

The firm also said the recall would be extended to Europe, but exactly where and which models had yet to be decided.

The new recall comes just a day after the carmaker said it was suspending sales of eight popular US models.

Toyota also announced that 750 jobs would be going at its Burnaston plant in the UK before the end of August.

"[Last year] was a tough year for Toyota Manufacturing UK," the carmaker said.

"This decision is related to production capacity and efficiency, not to production volumes."
