TOKYO, Oct 19,2005 (Reuters) - The following stocks are on the move on Wednesday: **TOYOTA DOWN AFTER ANNOUNCING ITS BIGGEST RECALL**
Toyota Motor Co. falls 1.7 percent to 5,210 yen.
On Tuesday the world's No.2 auto maker said it would recall about 1.41 million cars globally -- the biggest recall in its history -- including the Corolla and 15 other models due to trouble with their headlight switching systems.
Although Toyota declined to disclose the cost of the recall, a spokesman said the company did not expect any major impact on its earnings.
The recall is the biggest for a Japanese auto maker and beat Toyota's previous record recall of 797,707 vehicles in 1999, the spokesman said.
