Japan's Toyota Motor Corp says it has so far recalled 3.37 million cars worldwide over possible defects involving airbags and emissions control units.
The automaker said on Wednesday the announcement followed a fresh recall of 2.87 million cars over a possible fault in emissions control units.
Besides, it said that 1.43 million other cars needed repairs over a separate issue involving air bag inflators.
It said some of the gasoline-electric hybrid Prius models contained defects, taking the total number of vehicles affected by the recalls worldwide to 3.37 million.
No injuries have been linked to either issue.
Toyota said evaporative fuel emissions control units in models produced from 2006 to 2015 including the Prius, Auris compact hatchback and its popular Corolla models were prone to cracks.
The automaker said the cracks could expand over time and lead to fuel leaks.
Late on Tuesday it recalled Prius models and Lexus CT200h cars made from 2010 to 2012 over air bag inflators that could have a small crack in a weld, which could lead to the separation of the inflator chambers.
The inflator, which was not supplied by troubled maker Takata Corp, could partially inflate and enter the vehicle interior, increasing the risk of injury, Toyota said.
