Toyota said Wednesday it was recalling 6.5 million vehicles worldwide over a power window glitch that presented a fire risk, the latest in a string of such moves by the world's biggest automaker.
In recent months, Toyota has recalled nearly 10 million vehicles outfitted with defective air bags linked to several deaths globally.
A driver's side power window master switch could short circuit and cause parts to overheat and melt, Toyota said in an email.
"A melting switch may produce smoking and, potentially, lead to a fire," it added.
