Toyota Motor Corp. on Wednesday announced a massive global recall of its popular Prius hybrid to fix a software glitch that could cause the car to stall.

The Japanese automaker also launched a recall of about 260,000 RAV4 sport-utility vehicles, Tacoma trucks and Lexus RX350 SUVs sold in the United States to address a separate issue.

The Prius recall includes 1.9 million vehicles sold from 2010 through 2014 model years.

It involves about 1 million cars in Japan, some 700,000 in North America and the rest from Europe and other regions.
