TORONTO - Toyota Canada says it's recalling about 940 first-generation Prius hybrid cars across the country for faulty steering caused by a nut that may come loose.

The automaker says the recall affects Prius vehicles from the 2001 through 2003 model years.

The move is part of a global recall of 106,000 Prius hybrids.

The single minor accident suspected of being related to the problem was reported in the United States, according to Toyota Motor Corp.
