Prius Recall - Toyota To Announce Recall Japan [Breaking]
Toyota will announce that they’ll do a recall of the Toyota Prius for brake problems. This will first be announced in Japan and could follow up in the US.
US Toyota Prius owners will likely become more vocal about the problems they’ve had with their Prius brakes.
The Prius uses a regenerative braking system which means it recaptures energy to charge the batteries that power the hybrid in electric mode.
