Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for the beleaguered Toyota Motor Corporation following a series of vehicle recalls, now it appears that two more of its hybrid cars will be affected.
According to reports in the Nikkei, Toyota will begin recalling both the Sai Hybrid and the Lexus HS250h Hybrid, which use the same regenerative braking system as the Prius Hybrid.
The report suggests it is planning to notify the Transport Ministry early this week after deciding to recall the latest model of the Prius due to concerns surrounding the brakes.
The Sai debuted in December, while the Lexus HS250h was made available last July. Toyota is expected to notify authorities as soon as a fix for the system is ready – it could affect about 4,000 units of each model in Japan and around 10,000 of each worldwide.
