LEXUS BRAKE RECALL?

In the wake of the disastrous Toyota accelerator recall, it looks like the company may recall hybrid Lexus vehicles over faulty brakes.

No official recall just yet but here’s what the company is saying:

Tokyo, Japan (CNN) — Toyota has added the brake systems of the latest Lexus hybrid vehicles to a growing list of problems with various models, the company said Friday.

The company said it was checking the brakes on the Lexus vehicles — as well as a Japanese model called the Sai — because they use the same system as that used on the 2010 Toyota Prius.
