Toyota to recall 1 lakh Corolla cars in Brazil

The recall comes a day after the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais ordered a ban on the sales of the best-selling car, saying the vehicles presented a safety threat.

After a meeting with consumer advocacy bodies on Thursday, Toyota said it would review the condition of the vehicles’ floor mats, which authorities and manufacturers have pinpointed as the source of several accelerator problems that led to accidents, according to Sao Paulo-based consumer protection agency Procon.
