DETROIT -- Toyota is recalling 880,000 RAV-4s and Lexus sedans in the U.S. and Canada because a repair announced last year may not have solved a safety problem.

RAV-4s from the 2006 through 2011 model years and 2010 Lexus HS-250hs are involved.

In Canada, the recall affects about 100,000 vehicles.

Toyota says if rear suspension nuts aren't tightened properly after a wheel alignment, the arms can rust and separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

At least nine crashes and three injuries related to the problem have been reported.

Toyota recalled the vehicles last August for the same issue, but a spokeswoman says the repair procedure wasn't correct.
