Toyota Prius is possible to model global recall because of problems with the brakes. That says that the news agency Reuters quoted sources in Japan.
Toyota will not comment on the message, but says it will clear very quickly what happened to the Prius is about to happen.
The expectation is that Toyota is not only pride in Japan and the U.S. but also in China and Europe will recall. Only in Japan and America were 270,000 cars sold last year, show problems with the braking system. According to Toyota, this is a software problem that a number of new cars have been noted and remedied.
The Japanese newspaper Yomiuri writes that the first car manufacturer will inform the Japanese government in Japan and then goes back thousands Priussen call.
Toyota said last week, eight million cars from other models because of back problems with the mat and with the accelerator.
The company estimates that only recalls these problems will cost a half billion in direct costs and lost sales. The loss is compounded by the problems with the Prius. (ee)
