Toyota and Nissan announce recalls

Washington, D.C. — Toyota and Nissan have announced recalls. Toyota is recalling more than 367-thousand Toyota and Lexus sport utility vehicles in the US because a piece in the frontconsole area could come loose and interfere with the gas pedal.

And Nissan says it will recall nearly 201-thousand Altima and Sentra sedans from the 2003 model year to fix a faulty sensor that can cause the engine to shut down.

Toyota's recall involves 2004-05 models of the Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX 330 and early 2006 models of the Highlander hybrid SUV and the RX 400h, the hybrid version of the RX 330.

The Nissan recall involves vehicles with two-point-five liter engines.

Owners will be notified.
