The latest moves follow an announcement by Toyota Motor Corp. about two weeks ago, in which it recalled more than 2.2 million vehicles equipped with Takata air bags.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said last April, when Toyota, Honda and Nissan announced a recall of more than 3 million vehicles, that in the event of a crash, "the inflater could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the passenger seat occupant or other occupants."
Other auto makers have announced additional recalls since then.
