Japanese carmaker Toyota is recalling 1.75 million vehicles worldwide because of a faulty brake installation, BBC News reports.

The recall includes nearly 94,000 vehicles in China.

The latest brake defect is found in some models of Toyota's Crown Majesta as well as the Noah and Voxy models produced between June 2007 and 2012.

Toyota said in a statement to the BBC it was not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this defect.

Last month, Toyota recalled 690,000 Tacoma pickup trucks in the US because of a potential vulnerability in the vehicles' suspension systems.
