Prius World Recall

News fresh off the news box....

Toyota is issuing a WORLD WIDE recall on...you guessed it the PRIUS!

The fault is said to be electrical.....where the engine just stops!
It effects ALL 150,000 or so models.

Will do a lot of good for their image! and Hybrids.

^ haha...

What, exactly, is going on with them? Did toyota "wire" something incorrectly? Or is this an issue that could affect hybrids from other manufacturers as well?

From what I've read it's a software glitch, nothing mechanical.

yea basically it's a software glitch where the gasoline engine may shut down unexpectedly WHILE in motion

NOT GOOD when you're going at highway speed
