Toyota recalls 651,366 vans, wagons in Japan

TOKYO, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T: Quote, Profile, Research) issued a recall notice on Thursday covering 651,366 vehicles spanning 10 models in Japan due to defective lenses in rear lamps whose red colour could fade when exposed to strong sunlight for a long time.

Subject to the recall are certain Toyota Hiace Wagon, Hiace Van and other sister models including around 6,000 ambulances manufactured between November 1989 and April 2000, Japan's top auto maker said in a report submitted to the transport ministry.

No accident has been reported due to the defect, it said.

The world's second-largest auto maker does not usually disclose recall costs, but a spokeswoman said the company was expecting no impact on its earnings.

Last week, Toyota issued two recall notices for 339,637 trucks and vans in Japan manufactured between 1988 and 1996 due to a glitch in the steering system.
