Toyota said on Wednesday it was recalling more than 470,000 vehicles in Japan in its fifth recall this year, highlighting the carmaker’s struggle to deal with quality problems as it expands globally.

The move brings the total number of vehicles the carmaker has had to recall in Japan this year to more than 594,000. It comes after Toyota suffered a blow in the US when Consumer Reports, the influential consumer-advice publication, said it was reversing a practice of automatically recommending all new Toyota cars.
