Toyota starts recall over engine flaw

Toyota has started recalling Lexus and Crown luxury vehicles in Japan over an engine defect, and says actions in overseas markets will follow soon.

Toyota Motor Corp said actions in overseas markets would follow soon.

The world's top automaker told the Japanese government on Monday it was recalling 91,903 vehicles in Japan for flaws in the valve springs.

The defect could make the vehicle stall while it is moving.

Toyota disclosed the problem last week and said it planned action. It affects some 270,000 vehicles around the world.

The company said it has received 220 complaints about the problem but no crashes had been reported.
