What Exactly is the Toyata Prius Problem?

Toyota is going to recall 400,000 Prius Hybrid models worldwide. What exactly is the problem with the Toyota Prius Hybrid?

The Prius has a brake problem. This car, like many hybrid cars, has a system that captures and transfers the energy generated by the brakes to the battery. But due to a software bug, this system causes the ABS-system to react too slow on bumpy and slippery roads.

Toyota recalls all Prius models of the third generation for a free software update of the brakes.

This is not good news for Toyota who had to recall 8 million vehicles in January because of a problem with the accelerator.
