Toyota Orders Worldwide Prius Recall
This article describes the Toyota Motor Corporation’s increasing recall problems in the United States and other markets around the world with the company’s recent announcement of recalls of many of the company’s hybrid models. The Toyota Prius is the largest target of the recall, but the recall also affects other hybrid models. The recall includes 437,000 total vehicles for brake problems that owners have been reporting since the 2010 Prius models went on sale in May 2009.
Faulty Brakes on Prius Models create Another Quality Problem for Prius
The New York Times reports that Toyota’s problems with quality and reliability have taken another blow after the Japanese government told the world’s largest automaker to launch an investigation on the brakes of their popular Prius models. The company is still reeling from the biggest recall in its history regarding well-publicized accelerator problems that can cause gas pedals on many Toyota models to stick and accelerate out of control. This new development with brakes on the Toyota Prius represents another possible black mark on Toyota’s safety record.
