Toyota Prius Recall Coming

Due to a brake design problem, Toyota plans on recalling their popular Prius, a hybrid car popular with many smug yet eco-friendly Bay Area ilk. According to MarketWatch, around 270,000 vehicles will be recalled. "The Japanese automaker is expected to file with the the U.S. Department of Transportation for a recall to change the control program for the hybrid's anti-lock brake system."

The recall will affect only the third-generation Prius, targeting "only about 100,000 vehicles in the United States."
