The recall of the 2010 Prius and two other hybrids will affect 437,000 cars across the world, and around 8,500 in the UK.

Toyota’s president Akio Toyoda announced the recall at a news conference. He said customers should take their cars back to the dealer where a simple 40 minute process will make them safe.

He said: “We have decided to recall as we regard safety for our customers as our foremost priority.”
Also being recalled are two other hybrid models - the Lexus HS250h sedan, sold in the US and Japan, and the Sai, which is sold only in Japan.

The braking problem for the third-generation Prius is the latest safety concern for Toyota, which has already recalled millions of vehicles due to other defects, including a sticky accelerator pedal.
US safety officials have launched an investigation into problems with the brakes.

There have been nearly 200 complaints in Japan and the US of drivers experiencing a short delay before the brakes are effective. The problem can be fixed with a software programming change
