Hybrids: a matter of getting used to
Finally, Mr. Gagnon spoke about the latest recall aimed at the 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus HS 250h. Some owners have reported experiencing inconsistent brake feel momentarily during slow and steady application of the brakes, on rough or slick road surfaces when the ABS is activated in an effort to maintain tire traction. Both the ABS and regenerative braking systems are at fault here.
Toyota has responded with a running production change that improves the ABS system's response time as well as its overall sensitivity to tire slippage. The voluntary safety recall will be conducted on over 3,200 vehicles across Canada.
