The French automaker PSA said Monday it would recall 97,000 Peugeot 107s and Citroen C1s made in a Czech factory it shares with Japanese automaker Toyota.
The move comes after the Japanese giant Friday pulled millions of cars around the world due to faulty accelerator pedals.

It said the recall was a precautionary measure and affected European car owners who would be informed of the problem by mail.
