The recall of approximately 2 millions cars around the world is already positive advertising, because other car makers had the same problems but they didn''t do the same recall.\" \u003cbr/\u003e29. Pan right Toyota headquarters in Rome\u003cbr/\u003eToyota said on Tuesday it was recalling about 437-thousand Prius and other hybrid vehicles worldwide to fix brake problems - the latest in a string of embarrassing safety lapses at the world''s largest automaker. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the recall, the latest by the Japanese automaker, seems not to have shaken confidence with drivers or hurt sales at dealerships around the world. \u003cbr/\u003eWith the Prius announcement, the number of vehicles recalled globally by Toyota Motor Corporation has ballooned to 8.5 million, including for floor mats which can trap acceleration pedals and faulty acceleration pedals that are slow to return to the idle position. \u003cbr/\u003eThe latest recall regarding the brakes relates to the 2010 Prius gas-electric hybrid - the world''s top-selling hybrid car, which had not been subject to any of the earlier recalls.\u003cbr/\u003eThere have been about 200 complaints in Japan and the U.S. about a delay when the brakes in the Prius were pressed in cold conditions and on some bumpy roads. \u003cbr/\u003eThe delay doesn''t indicate a brake failure. The company says the problem can be fixed in 40 minutes with new software that oversees the controls of the antilock brakes.\u003cbr/\u003eThere have been no complaints about the 2010 Prius, the third-generation model Prius, in Hong Kong, according to Ted Lau, After Sales Division Director of Crown Motor Limited, which is the sole agent for Toyota in the city. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said the company expected to complete the software upgrade for the braking system by the end of the month on all 270 of the models sold in Hong Kong. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Paris, a taxi driver behind the wheel of a Prius said he was very happy with his car. \u003cbr/\u003e\"For me, it works very well. No problem with the brakes. It drives well. And it''s an economical car also,\" said the man, who gave his name as Mr. Bara. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Italy, sales at this dealership in the capital Rome haven''t slowed down, although there has been some concern among customers, said Luca Dal Bello, Commmercial Director of the Toyota dealership.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I must say there is just a bit of concern, but we haven''t suffered a slowdown of sales so far,\" said Dal Bello. \u003cbr/\u003eToyota officials went to Japan''s Transport Ministry earlier on Tuesday to formally notify officials that the company was recalling the 2010 Prius.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 223-thousand cars being recalled in Japan include nearly 200-thousand Priuses sold from April last year through Monday, according to papers the automaker filed with the ministry. The Prius is Japan''s top-selling car.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the U.S., Toyota will recall 133-thousand Prius cars and 14-thousand Lexus HS250h vehicles. Nearly 53-thousand Priuses are also being recalled in Europe. \u003cbr/\u003eIf drivers experience a delayed reaction when depressing the brakes in any of these models, they should keep pressing, according to Toyota and the transport ministry.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Prius repairs will start in Japan on Wednesday. U.S. owners will start receiving letters about the recall next week.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
