Already remembered for his abs in 2010, the Prius is experiencing new problems on its braking system. In France, 5,138 copies must go through the workshop.
Without matching the references of the class, the Japanese appear more dynamic than before handling.
Difficult to be measured, as in many hybrids, and victim too long stopping distances, braking is not the strong point of the Prius. But this is not what justifies recall 5138 copies in France, produced between March and October 2009, and 242,500 cars worldwide. A total that includes some Lexus HS 250h, not imported into Europe. The cause is a possible crack at the pressure accumulator brake fluid, which can cause a nitrogen leak in the system and reduce its effectiveness. Although no accidents have been reported, so Toyota is asking owners to bring their vehicle to the shop to check the brake accumulator and replace if necessary. The procedure takes about three hours and a half, and buyers concerned will be notified by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
If it is very simple in the city, this Toyota Prius appears quite intensive motorway.
The roof solar panels (optional) supplies the ventilation off. For reasons of weight, it prohibits 17-inch wheels, and requires 15 inches.
Roll silently in electric and recover braking energy: this is the city that the hybrid is more relevant. But now, the Prius is also known to be good on the road.
