TOKYO (CNN) -- Despite the recall of some 10 million vehicles in recent months, production by Toyota Motor Corp. soared more than 80% in March compared to year-earlier levels, the company reported Monday.
Toyota and its subsidiaries -- Daihatsu and Hino -- produced 860,534 vehicles in March for an 82.2% gain. Toyota made up the lion's share of the production numbers, rolling out 773,297 cars, trucks and SUVs -- up 96.7% from March 2009.
Toyota cars and trucks have been the subject of at least three separate major recalls in the past year. One was for the "sticky pedal" situation in which gas pedals, as they age, begin to stick in a partially depressed position.
Another was for gas pedals that can stick on some floor mats and a third was for braking problems on Toyota Prius hybrid cars.
In the latest recall, Toyota said in mid-April that it will recall about 600,000 Sienna minivans to address potential corrosion on spare tire cables.
