Toyota Expands Recall to Include 2010 Prius

HeadlineFeb 09, 2010

The auto giant Toyota has recalled 436,000 units of the 2010 Prius because of a problem in the hybrid car’s braking system. The recall was announced today. In recent months, Toyota has recalled about eight million cars worldwide over gas pedals that could stick or become caught on floor mats. Meanwhile, the Washington Post has revealed the nation’s largest auto insurer, State Farm, alerted federal safety regulators as early as 2007 about safety issues with certain Toyota models. Regulators waited more than a year before they pressed Toyota to issue recalls.
