Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles globally due to five separate issues, the company has announced.

The recall affects 27 Toyota models, including Yaris, Corolla and RAV4, as well as Pontiac Vibe and Subaru Trezia, the two models Toyota built for General Motors and Fuji Heavy Industries.

Toyota is recalling a majority of the cars — some 3.5 million vehicles globally, 2.34 million of which were sold in North America — due to problems with a spiral cable, which could be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, causing the air bag to fail. Other issues include problems with a spring that locks the seat rail in its position, steering columns, windscreen wipers and a fire risk with engine starters.

Toyota said none of the issues described above have caused crashes, injuries or fatalities.

The company's shares fell sharply by approximately 2% after the announcement.

The news come two months after Toyota announced it will recall 1.9 million Prius hybrid cars due to a software issue which could cause the car to stop while driving. The company also recalled some 87,000 model year 2010 Priuses and Lexus HS 250HS vehicles in June 2013 due to an issue with the brake pressure accumulator. And in 2012, Toyota recalled 7.43 million vehicles due to problems with power window switches.

In March 2014, Toyota agreed to pay a $1.2 billion fine for giving misleading information about two incidents that led to unintended acceleration in its vehicles in 2009 and 2010.
