Toyota today is recalling 1.9 million hybrid Prius cars around the world due to a software glitch. Vehicles recalled were produced between March 2009 and February 2014.
Recalls by regions; Japan 997,000 vehicles, North America 713,000 vehicles, Europe 130,000 vehicles, other regions are also affected.
The software glitch could cause transistors to become damaged thus causing warning lights to go off reducing the vehicle's power causing the car to stall and stop.
Other Toyota recalls:
Additional recalls were announced for the 2012 RAV4, 2012-2013 Tacoma as well as the 2012-2013 Lexus RX350. The above vehicles are being recalled due to an electric circuit issue that can cause the vehicle stability control, anti lock brakes, and traction control functions to occasionally turn off.
Toyota said that recall notices have been sent to owners of vehicles.
