Toyota Motor Corp said on Tuesday it will suspend sales of eight models involved in a recall announced last week for potentially faulty accelerator pedals.
Toyota also said it would halt production at plants in the United States and Canada in the first week of February.
The recall itself won't be a big problem for Toyota's earnings, but suspending production and sales could have a big impact depending on how long it lasts," said Koji Endo, an auto analyst at Advanced Research Japan.
The sales suspension and recall includes Toyota's top-selling vehicle in North America, the Camry, for model years since 2007.
Also included are the 2009-2010 model year RAV4, Corolla and Matrix, the 2008-2010 model year Sequoia, the 2007-2010 model year Tundra, the 2005-2010 model year Avalon and the 2010 model year Highlander.
