DETROIT (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (T:7203) in the United States said on Wednesday it is expanding its recall of cars with Takata Corp (T:7312) air bag parts by 198,000.
The fresh recall will include 2008 model year Corolla and Corolla Matrix as well as 2008 to 2010 model years Lexus SC430 vehicles.
An estimated 29 million Takata air bag inflators have been recalled in the United States, in more than 19 million vehicles, because the inflators can activate with too much force, sending potentially deadly metal shards into the passenger compartment.
