Japanese car maker Toyota is recalling over 23,000 second generation Yaris and Urban Cruiser cars in the Netherlands which were built between 2005 and 2010.

Toyota found that the spring in the mechanism which locks the driver and front passenger seats in position ‘may be under-strength and could break, should the seats be frequently moved backwards and forwards’.

In total, Toyota is recalling more than 6.5 million cars worldwide to fix a variety of problems, including faulty steering wheels and seats.

Dutch owners are being invited to bring in their vehicles for inspection.
