A leading newspaper says Toyota will recall 270,000
Prius hybrid vehicles over brake problems in the United States
and Japan.
Japan's top business newspaper, Nihon Keizai, said
today that Toyota will soon notify Japan's transport ministry
and the U.S. Department of Transportation of the recall.
Takayuki Fujimoto, a transport ministry official, said the
government has yet to receive a recall notice from Toyota.
Toyota spokeswoman Ririko Takeuchi said the company has not
yet decided whether to recall the model in the US and Japan.
