Here’s the thing about brakes, they’re supposed to actually stop a vehicle. And the thing about fuel delivery pipes is they generally make a car, you know, work. When either of those components don’t work properly big problems, such as crashes or fires, can occur. And that’s why Toyota is recalling more than 1.67 million vehicles globally.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the latest million-plus vehicle recall from Toyota involves concerns about defects with the braking system and fuel components of affected vehicles.

Approximately 802,000 Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy models manufactured between June 2007 and June 2014 have been recalled to fix an issue in the master brake cylinder.

Officials with Toyota say the issue stems from a rubber seal ring that could leak brake fluid. If a leak occurs the vehicle’s braking ability could be compromised.

The second recall involves 759,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles – 423,000 of which are located in the United States – that may have faulty fuel delivery pipes. The fuel pipes in the vehicles could leak, raising the risk of fire.

Affected vehicles include the Toyota Crown, Crown Majesta and Mark X cars and Lexus IS, GS and LS sedans built from January 2005 to September 2010.

Officials with Toyota say the fuel line problem was first identified in a report back in 2010, but that the single report was not enough to prompt a recall at the time.

Toyota reports that it is unaware of any fires, crashes, injuries or fatalities related to the issues found in the recalled cars.

In all, Toyota has recalled more than 5.3 million vehicles in the U.S. this year.
