TOYOTA RECALLS TOYOTA PRIUS SEDAN FOR PARKING BRAKE DEFECT

Seems we are at the week of product recall. Toyota has launched a global recall of its redesigned Toyota Prius sedan after reports of a likely deadly defect of its parking brake.
Toyota automobile is to recall 340,000 units of the Prius globally, including 212,000 in Japan and 92,000 of the 2016 and 2017 models in the U.S.
Toyota spokesman Victor Vanov "On the involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the parking brake could become inoperative," Toyota said Wednesday in a statement. "If this occurs and the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in a gear other than ‘Park’ whiles the ignition is on, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash."
Toyota has "received reports of crashes, injuries and deaths" and is "still looking into the reports," the Associated Press reported.
The automobile company instructed that dealers "will add clips on the top of the brake cable dust boots to prevent the cable from becoming inoperative."
Also they have made plans for Owners notified in November, and repairs will be free.
