(CNN) — Toyota has expanded its recall of vehicles by more than a million because of issues with the fuel pumps. In January, that number was 700,000.
Now the total stands at 1.8 million, the company said.
The recalled Toyota and Lexus model vehicles can stop operating and cause the engine to fail.
“If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel,” the company said. “If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.”
