Toyota recalling Prius, other models in Japan - Toyota said Tuesday it is recalling 170,000 Prius hybrid cars in Japan for braking problems and will soon disclose details of its global plans for a fix.

Early Priuses may have braking issues - How far back do potential braking problems with the Toyota Prius go? The answer may be much further than believed, and could involve vehicles dating back to the 2005 model-year.
