Comments
Toyota is one of the leading car companies that made a drastic number of recalls in different model of their cars and it is not good for their image like this one that concerns over the faulty brake of Prius. In this kind of recall, Toyota engineers should use this time to make an overhaul check-up on all Prius cars not just in the braking system but also in other parts such as the engine, abs speed sensor, exhaust system and other parts in order to avoid further recalls and accidents on their cars.
