Toyota recalls thousands of cars in UK

Around 8,500 Toyota Prius cars are to be recalled in the UK because of a braking problem, the beleaguered Japanese company has announced.

The UK recall involves the third generation of the hybrid electric-petrol Prius and affects models manufactured from last summer up to January 27 this year.

It is part of a 400,000-vehicle recall worldwide.
