Toyota Ireland has announced that 26,000 cars will be recalled in this country in order to address a potential fault in the vehicles' accelerators.
The recall will include vehicles from eight model ranges including Avensis, Auris, Corolla and the RAV4.
The recall is part of a worldwide recall by Toyota of up to 1.8 million cars after it emerged that in rare instances accelerators could stick or not return to idle, due to wearing in the accelerator mechanism.
Meanwhile Peugeot says it will recall 42 vehicles here to check for potential accelerator problems. The company says the cars are being recalled because they are identical to one of the models Toyota is recalling and are manufactured in the same Toyota-operated plant in the Czech Republic.
Citroen, which also manufactures cars in the same plant, will recall just two cars in Ireland.
French car group PSA is recalling 97,000 Citroen and Peugeot vehicles throughout Europe.
Earlier Honda announced it would recall nearly 3,000 cars in Ireland to check driver door window switches as part of a worldwide recall.
John Donohoe of Honda said all Jazz cars sold here from 2002 to 2009 have to be checked because of a potential concern with the electric window switch in the driver door.
Mr Donohoe said the switch could short circuit if contaminated with liquid.
