Press Release: Hybrid Prius owners have nothing to fear

Hybrid Prius owners have nothing to fear

With the news that Toyota has issued a recall for third-generation Prius models, award-winning* guide to green cars, TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk believes that car buyers should not be in any way deterred from buying a Prius or any other hybrid model.

Editor of TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk Faye Sunderland comments: “There is no reason to think that hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius are any less safe than any other type of car. In fact, hybrid models like the Prius and Honda’s Insight were given some of the highest scores in Euro NCAP testing in 2009. Motorists should not think that what has happened with the Toyota Prius disproves the safety of hybrids especially when safety recalls are not uncommon for any type of car.

“For most, this recall will be nothing more than a precautionary measure.”
